Biographical article, sourced in part to WP:PRIMARYSOURCES, whose only real claim of notability is having been an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary. The article does suggest other accomplishments (business career, etc.) which might get him past a different notability guideline if they were expanded upon in more detail and with proper sourcing -- but as things currently stand the only yardstick we can actually judge him against is WP:POLITICIAN, and he fails that test. Delete if article doesn't see Heymann improvement soon. Bearcat (talk) 01:14, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:POLITICIAN, I'm surprised the article was ever created in the first place RadioFan (talk) 23:08, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've almost stopped being surprised at what is on here :) There are several that I have had qualms about. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * To be fair, our inclusion standards were a lot more loosey-goosey back in 2007 when this article was created than they are now. So yeah, I'm with JoannaSerah — it ain't worth being surprised. Hell, given current standards I've even supported deleting some stuff that I created way back in the olden daze, so I don't like pointin' fingers at other people.

 * Delete I would have to agree. He has some coverage as a candidate, but I can't see that he's held any notable offices or anything. Just being a candidate is not something we usually keep. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 17:43, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete per JoannaSerah, past cases at AfD. Bearian (talk) 22:34, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
