This is a repost but having looked at the previous article, this is sufficiently different in its claim of his being the "first person to be expelled from the Socialist Party", that it doesn't qualify for speedy deleted under CSD G4. The ten references are not as they seem: the first four do not mention him at all; the fifth is just a mention; the sixth is to a website which list every person in the country running for office and this candidate's answers to a boilerplate survey sent to all such candidates (accordingly not an independent nor a reliable secondary source); the seventh, eighth and ninth are blogs, and the last supposedly had an article on his appearance at a coffee shop, but which article is not found through that link.

A Google search doesn't turn up anything further that could be seen as significant treatment in any independent, reliable source. He's not a political figure who has ever held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, nor was ever a member of a national, state or provincial legislatures. Accordingly, the subject [still] does not appear to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people).--Fuhghettaboutit 17:35, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the convincing evidence and rationale given by Fuhghettaboutit. i (talk)  19:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - insufficient reliable sources to establish notability. The only relevant news coverage I could find was this.  Note that being the first to be kicked out of the party isn't all that notable considering the resultant non-coverage of the event in the news. -- Whpq 15:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
