 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Location (talk) 02:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Google returns social media sites, wikipedia, linkdin and not much else. If someone can update his article with something like an RS, ill reconsider, but as it stands, seems notable for only one event. Bonewah (talk) 04:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete- Political Graveyard entry no help. Dru of Id (talk) 00:41, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Much of the article can be traced back to WP:OR. It has been suggested that article meets notability via Google hits; WP:GNUM would argue otherwise.  In fact, one also learns in Google that the subject of the article has repeatedly declared himself to be the "VERY (caps his) Foreign Minister of the Second Vermont Republic."  It is important to note that during election cycles news media often cover even the most obscure candidates, if only for the entertainment of readers/viewers and also so that the stations or print outlets involved are not later criticized for not covering these obscure or fringe candidates.  The subject of this article has never received the extensive coverage associated with a committed campaign.  In fact, according to the record, the subject here campaigns primarily by letters and Internet postings; and according to VT Sec'y of State records, the subject raises no campaign money and maintains no discernible campaign staff.  Despite registering any number of times as a Liberty Union, Republican, Democrat, or independent candidate, the subject's vote getting ability seems only to comparably challenge that of lint; the subject has described one of his showings in an election where 99.5% of the voters chose someone else as having "come in third."  Also WP:POLITICIAN, WP:NRVE, and WP:RSUW.  The long, rambling, fact challenged (George W. Bush and Karl Rove are not Republicans?) and poorly sourced quote from the subject of the article that comprises the bulk of the text would seem to be the clincher, WP:UNDUE.

 * Delete as failing WP:POLITICIAN. There's a small chance I'm misreading that because of the complete American-centric-ism of the article; if that's the case, fix the article and ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:17, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
