Non-notable declared politician lacking significant coverage to establish notability. Fails WP:1EVENT. One reference is a dead link and the others are a duplicate. red dogsix (talk) 23:41, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Doesn't meet WP:GNG or even WP:NPOL. One citation is an invalid page on the State Board of Elections site; "more references" turns out to be 3 different copies of the same press release, added first by a now-blocked user, followed 2 days later by a new account.  (Maybe those sites should go on the wiki blacklist if they don't distinguish between journalism and press releases.) --Closeapple (talk) 07:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being an as-yet-unelected candidate in a future party primary; if you cannot demonstrate that he already had enough preexisting notability to get a Wikipedia article on other grounds (e.g. having already held another notable political office, or having passed our inclusion criteria in some other occupation), then he does not get an article because politics until he wins the gubernatorial election.

 * Delete per WP:POUTCOMES. We can't have an article on every run of the mill candidate. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons listed above. ALPolitico (talk) 20:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Way too soon and the individual does not meet our criteria for WP:ANYBIO. Mkdw  talk 05:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete We can't create an article for every candidate for office. Revisit if he is making headlines a year from now. SOXROX (talk) 17:37, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
