Almost certainly an WP:AUTOBIO of a perennial candidate who fails WP:NPOL. Even if the subject passes WP:GNG it most likely needs rewriting due to the promotional nature of the article GPL93 (talk) 16:43, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a perennially-losing perennial candidate for political office is not an WP:NPOL pass, but this article is referenced nowhere near well enough to make him special — it's referenced almost entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of Esrati's existence in media coverage of other things or people, not to coverage that's about him in any non-trivial way. To be fair, the original creator in 2008 is the likely autobio candidate — but their work got deleted at AFD within two weeks, and the article was then recreated in 2010 by an editor who was far less likely to be Esrati (they stuck around for another couple of years and edited on other topics unconnected to Dayton municipal politics.) So the 2008 AFD wouldn't be grounds for speedying this by any means, but this definitely isn't a significant notability or sourcing improvement over the original version either.

 * Delete  Fails WP:NPOL; the only part of this article to have real notability is the reference to Dayton v. Esrati which would argue if anything a page for it and not the article being considered for deletion. Looking into it though, the case seems to be more a footnote than a major case when referenced in sources. Userqio (talk) 06:10, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
