 * Sacristy of information. Not a necessary Wikipedia article, should be in a draft. Lemonpasta (talk) 15:33, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete not at present notable, may be in the future.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe the person meets the notability requirements to be featured in an article. He is mentioned consistently over the past two years by various Colorado news networks and organizations. I found no issues sourcing information within the article, and enough work has been performed on the article to make it less of a stub. Deletion should be revisited in around a month from now after the primaries have occurred in Colorado. Computermichael (talk) 03:12, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep He's an important Hispanic politician in the West, he's already served as a mayor of an important Colorado city, and he's worked as an appointed federal government official. His name is a household word in the Rocky Mountain Region, and he's increasingly notable.Jeffrey Beall (talk) 10:49, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Not well-sourced enough to get past WP:GNG, many of them are for his own campaign website. Being a mayor of a city doesn't grant him notability, either. Possible WP:TOOSOON, no prejudice on recreation if he wins the primary and independently passes WP:GNG then, but a pretty easy delete vote for now. SportingFlyer  talk  20:33, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won yet — he would have to win the gubernatorial election, not just run in it, to be deemed notable under WP:NPOL #1, but being a mayor of a small town is not an automatic free pass over NPOL #2, either. The fact that some coverage exists in Colorado media in the campaign context is not a WP:GNG pass either, because every candidate in every election everywhere could always show some of that — campaign-related coverage only establishes notability in and of itself if it explodes to a degree that marks him out as a special case over and above most other candidates, but that's not what's in evidence here. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but nothing present here is already an article-clinching notability claim as of today. Bearcat (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete candidacy doe not confer notability. Career previous to candidacy insufficiently notable to pass WP:POL.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
