Fails both WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. The unsuccessful Republican nominee for mayor of Washington DC in 2006, in which he received a whopping 6% of the vote. There are no sources for the subject that aren't just routine election coverage (WP:SIGCOV), and there is certainly no lasting notability. Curbon7 (talk) 20:45, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, but this article neither claims preexisting notability for reasons other than an unsuccessful candidacy nor demonstrates any reason to treat his candidacy as markedly more special than everybody else's candidacies. It depends mainly on primary sources that are not support for notability at all, with a small smattering of purely routine and run of the mill campaign coverage mixed in, and that's not good enough to claim that he would permanently pass WP:GNG in lieu of actually having to hold a notable office under WP:NPOL.
