Non-notable individual. Fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage. Fails WP:POLITICIAN as someone who has run for, but not won, political office. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:34, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Maybe keep as a perennial candidate. Bearian (talk) 00:33, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Perennial candidates don't get kept for being perennial candidates. They get kept if there's sufficient sourcing for them. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:47, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Candidates for political office do not get an automatic presumption of notability just for being candidates, not even the perennial kind. But there's no real WP:GNG claim here either — about half the references in the article are to primary sources that cannot assist GNG at all, and all but one of the remaining sources are local blogs and local alt-weeklies. Only one source here, East Bay Times, actually counts for anything at all toward meeting GNG — but one source can't carry GNG all by itself. Local coverage of local elections is routinely expected to exist, so an unelected candidate doesn't get to claim GNG on local election coverage alone — a candidate for office doesn't have a GNG argument until the coverage of them nationalizes.

 * Delete I'm unable to find any third party reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Someone else has said passes, if they can provide those sources I'll flip.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
