WP:BLP of a political strategist, whose only stated or sourced indication of notability is being an as yet non-winning candidate in a future party leadership contest. Nothing here passes any subject-specific inclusion criterion in and of itself, but the article is not sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG: of the five sources here, three are his own primary sources (content he wrote, and his own self-published profile for an Indiegogo campaign), while the other two are just routine coverage of his leadership candidacy announcement itself -- and even one of those two is an unreliable source (National Newswatch) that cannot assist notability. All of which means we have only one acceptable source, and that's not enough. Bearcat (talk) 17:58, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
