 * Delete a non-notable politician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:23, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - hard to imagine that the founder of the current Rhinoceros Party and Les Foufounes Électriques wouldn't be notable. There's literally decades of media coverage of this person - and this was noted in the previous AFD. Why are neither User:User19004 nor User:Johnpacklambert discussing the unanimous keep in the previous AFD? Nfitz (talk)
 * Comment - Please note nominator has been blocked for sockpuppetry and has done little but AFD articles since they created their account - all of which that I've carefully checked seem to be notable. Nfitz (talk) 09:00, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep -, , are some of the coverage about this person.  I would venture to say that WP:NPOL is the wrong measuring stick to use for notability given that the Rhino party was a satirical one.  In any case, WP:GNG is met. -- Whpq (talk) 23:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
