Non-notable, failed politician. Even coverage of his campaign used as sources in the article is trivial. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Single source about his prison ministry efforts is about him, but I just don't think it gets him past WP:N. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:13, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect. Very odd. United States Senate election in Florida, 2010 lists him, but not his campaign site (at the bottom of External links) or any description of him other than his name and party. He's only notable for this one event, but he is notable for that, so some of the material about him should be summarized in the election article. I don't understand this "all or nothing" approach.

 * I wouldn't necessarily oppose a redirect. I don't think he's that likely of a search term, but if you're proposing it, I wouldn't have an isse with it. I do think you're being unfair with your comment about an "all or nothing" appraoch, but that's a separate issue. Of course the senate race article lists him, he's on the ballot. It would be remiss for the article to not list him as part of the race. That doesn't make him notable as an individual though.


 * Comment I wouldn't oppose a redirect, but subject has been non-notable in more than one election, and is sufficiently below the threshold that delete is also an acceptable outcome. I just don't think he's notable enough to continue having his own article. Ray  Talk 16:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsuccessful political candidate. Never even got a major-party nomination to any office - apparently lost in primaries. Completely non-notable; don't redirect anywhere. --MelanieN (talk) 14:12, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:32, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
