Having searched the net for references, I am convinced that this man fails to satisfy
WP:POLITICIAN,
WP:GNG and
WP:SIGCOV criteria.The references only relate to one event: his announcement of a 2024 presidential campaign.

Delete per nom. Fails
WP:GNG as no reliable sources could be found to show notability. -

Announcements are still considered type of a press release, unless they have further details and not just simply repeating the press release. I still do not think there is enough here.

Comment: I looked around and there is some coverage of Binkley before his presidential run such as the
Forbes article
here. From skimming business press releases, he seems to have founded a pretty big bank in Texas. If there's more coverage of his work in banking in more reliable sources then he might meet
WP:GNG. The article with sourcing as is definitely isn't meeting notability guidelines.

This article appears to be a
WP:FORBESCON article, so it isn't considered to be reliable or notability-lending. It's also possible that the bank might be more notable than he is. Best,

Good catch! My main point was I wanted to see if better sources could be found for the article. Like if there were annual articles about the guy in the Dallas local news about him and his business, I'd lean toward keeping. However, if all we have is two or three passing news stories about him before his run (which appears to be the case now that someone has added to the article) then I think I agree he doesn't meet
WP:GNG.

Comment -- At this stage of an American election, there may be a dozen or two candidates. Politicians who have not been elected to a notable position are inherently NN. But how far should we apply to this candidates for a position as notable as US President? The fact he has resigned from other posts to run, suggests that he is serious.

It's not really a matter of seriousness he is about his candidacy, but more a matter of how seriously his party and the media take him. I'd say Binkley would be a long shot to make debates and isn't even guaranteed make primary ballots. Best,
