 * Delete: The fact that there his death was announced in the Boston Globe, and there are some scant other non-routine sources that do provide WP:SIGCOV make it close, but I think it still fails WP:GNG; some newspaper sources may exist (my newspapers.com subscription is in the process of renewal so I can't check), but as of right now, no dice. Also, searches are further hampered because his grandfather, who has the same name, was apparently a local bigshot back in the day. Curbon7 (talk) 05:54, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Also looking at the previous AfD from 2008, those really were different times. Curbon7 (talk) 05:57, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, but this features neither a credible claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy nor sufficient sourcing to deem his candidacies more special than everybody else's candidacies.

 * Delete, fails WP:NPOL and I can't see any indication that he passes WP:GNG. Suonii180 (talk) 22:48, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: His candidacy for the 2000 United States Senate election in Massachusetts certainly appears sufficiently special - WP, NYT, TAL Economist - to a level where redirection and capsule coverage there would be reasonable. I don't see reviews sufficient to meet WP:AUTHOR. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 03:20, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
