 * Delete - Unsuccessful political candidate with no other notability. Meatsgains (talk) 01:56, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete defeated candidates for office are almost never notable. During the previous deletion discussion some suggested the article should be kept until the election, and removed if he lost. Others asseted major party senate candidates were default notable, which we have rejected more recently.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:57, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some unsuccessful candidates are notable under WP:GNG, but Dwight Grotberg doesn't seem to have attracted any significant media coverage after the election he lost. Notability has not been shown. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:34, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Beyond the political loss, probably not going to meet WP:GNG with a passing mention in AgWeek and some coverage of his opposition to a wind farm . Bakazaka (talk) 03:05, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete If a person got so far as to be nominated by a major party to major office, we should be generous with notability, but nothing in WP:NPOL or WP:POLOUTCOMES suggests we should keep this, and my quick search of local media archives did not surface anything that would change that. LinkTiger (talk) 19:09, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge. There is this indepth coverage by The Bismarck Tribune that is related to the election, but not much besides. Merging there would be reasonable. --GRuban (talk) 13:27, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
