Appears to fail both WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. Initial search shows no notability outside campaign for mayor. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  21:30, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

 * As per WP:POLITICIAN, candidates for office do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — this is especially true at the municipal level of politics, though with the occasional exception for people who manage to generate far more notability than the norm it goes for state and federal legislatures too. In addition, the article's only reference is Ballotpedia, which violates Wikipedia's rule against using user-generated content sites as sources. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins. Bearcat (talk) 21:46, 16 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per Bearcat. Insufficient proper sources to demonstrate independent notability at this time.  Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  00:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Candidates for mayor are never notable for that. We would need significant coverage in multiple sources, which does not exist. It would need to be significant, which would be more than just saying the person is running for mayor.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:06, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
