This was nominated for deletion before, and was kept for no consensus. I am nominating it again now because it has been several years and I don't feel that this person is really notable per WP:POLITICIAN or probably any of the notability guidelines. He has only been a candidate for a couple of offices and lost those. Concerning the section on his conviction I'm not sure if that is really notable enough of an incident to include either. If the article is kept, yes, that should be included, but don't think that merely running for office and being convicted of something really, truly adds up to notability. Thank you.

 * Very weak delete - While I'll stipulate that he meets none of the three criteria of WP:POLITICIAN (he wasn't elected to anything, he wasn't a major local figure who received significant press coverage, and he was an unelected candidate) but I think the better argument is WP:GNG. I'm not convinced that the sources alone in the article quite meet the threshold for notability, and I'm not finding too much else, but seeing that there is another, more-famous Chris Mintz, that could just be that I haven't gone deep enough into the Google search pages, though I didn't find anything noteworthy in the archives. If someone finds a couple more sources, I would be willing to change my !vote, but until then, I must !vote delete in this borderline case. Go   Phightins  !  20:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
