This is an interesting one, since there's actually a decent amount of information about him that's easily found, from an appellate court decision against an insurance company, to an asbestos lawsuit, to a number of articles discussing his numerous failed campaigns from city council to the U.S. senate to the U.S. presidency. You don't become notable by being a losing candidate in major races, filing lawsuits, or by being a small town mayor, and while easily sourced, few of the sources discuss him in depth, and the one I found which discusses him in depth the best did feature stories on all of the candidates in the race. Most of the available sources are along the lines of "former mayor tries again." This fails WP:NPOL and the WP:GNG presumption. SportingFlyer  talk  01:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - As mentioned by the nominator, he is an unsuccessful political candidate lacking in-depth coverage in reliable sources. While the page appears to have adequate references, none establish notability thus not meeting general notability requirements. Meatsgains (talk) 02:10, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - nothing notable stands out with the current sourcing, nor does anything appears with an additional Google search. Fails WP:GNG. TimTempleton (talk)  (cont)  23:07, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
