Non-notable political candidate who unsuccessfully ran for local office. WP:GNG appears to be failed, as the sources currently cited are either not reliable, or provide little to no WP:SIGCOV; a WP:BEFORE search did not reveal anything different. Curbon7 (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. A case of WP:REFBOMB. Although there are numerous citations, virtually all are either non-WP:RS-compliant or lack significant coverage of the subject. Like the nom., I also searched the web and found no sourcing that would satisfy the notability guidelines. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 20:39, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates for county sheriff, and the sourcing (which is indeed very heavily reference bombed to Facebook posts and YouTube videos and other primary sources that are not support for notability) is not establishing a reason why he would be more nationally significant than other non-winning candidates for county sheriff.

 * Delete This is an overly promotional article. Candidates for sherrif, and even holders of this office, are just not inherently notable. The article talks about how many votes he got, but this seems more to be written to boost him, it does not actually analyze the merits of the election. So far he lost one time, lost the primary the next time he ran, and says he will run again in 2 years. This is not the stuff notability is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:21, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
