Proposed deletion contested without reason provided. While not quite looking eligible for speedy, my concerns on the prod were "I can't find anywhere near enough material to make a full biography on this individual possible. What minor notability there is comes from one event". Those concerns remain. I can't find any more material than some brief and very local coverage on this individual based on a single event, the attempted state Senate run. I don't see near enough source material here to write a biography. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:49, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a host for political campaigns, unelected politicians' routine coverage doesn't usually count towards WP:NPOL, and he previously didn't pass WP:GNG. Either he or his opponent Heather Arnet will be notable after they win the election, but not before. The election is in November. Arnet's article should be nominated for deletion too, it was recently refbombed with her op-ed pieces in the local newspapers. Kraxler (talk) 16:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Unelected candidates for office, whether in a past election or a future one, do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — either you reliably source that they were already notable enough for an article for some other reason independently of their candidacy, or they do not become notable enough for an article until they win the election. But nothing else here suggests or sources any other substantive reason why he would qualify for a Wikipedia article. Delete, without prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins the seat. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
