The result was nomination withdrawn due to sourcing improvements. Bearcat ( talk) 03:11, 11 January 2012 (UTC) reply
Per WP:POLITICIAN, unelected candidates are not notable just for being candidates, but must generally either win election to office, or have already been notable enough for other things that they could have had (or already had) an article before they ran for office. That said, he seems to have done enough work in the past that the possibility may exist that he meets another notability guideline (which is why I'm opting for AFD instead of prod), but that work is still referenced to coverage of his nomination, rather than to older references which demonstrate that he was garnering sufficient coverage to confer notability for it at the time it was happening. In fact, the only reference cited here that was published before January 9, 2012 is his faculty profile on the webpage of the institution he works for, which is a primary source and therefore cannot demonstrate notability. I'm more than willing to withdraw the nomination if someone can WP:HEY it up to a keepable standard — and, of course, he can certainly have an article if he wins the by-election — but this is still a delete in its current form.
