Fails WP:POLITICIAN (in that has not been elected to anything), what coverage I can find is no more than you would expect for a candidate for U.S. Senate. No significant press coverage outside being a candidate. Has the feel of an extension to a campaign website. Codf1977 (talk) 14:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Obvious Keep satisfies general notability criteria (see item #3 of WP:POLITICAN). The Hero of This Nation (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Does he ? - I was unable to find anything outside of him running. For example here. Codf1977 (talk) 14:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - I doubt you've read the article. "then allegedly said to her 'Let's go to your room'" is not something you would find on an extension to a campaign website.  His campaign (and other related events) have been covered nonstop for the last four days on every major news network in the United States.  I understand that wikipedia is not an outlet for breaking news without enduring notability, but I'm pretty sure his story will endure.  ~a (user • talk • contribs) 14:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Normally simple nominees are not notable enough for articles, sure. But this guy has been in the news for winning a primary in which he barely ran a campaign, for facing an obscenity charge, and for being bizarrely out-of-touch with basic policies and politics in several post-primary interviews.

 * Speedy keep. Greene's candidacy has received significant coverage both nationally and internationally. Besides being a major party's nominee for U.S. Senate, there's widespread speculation that something's rotten in the state of Denmark. Gobonobo  T C 15:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, obviously notable individual per WP:GNG -see the amount of sources in the article that cover him in detail. -- Cycl o pia talk  15:06, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep per Cyclopia. This is clearly snowballing in that direction, too. Stonemason89 (talk) 15:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
