The result was   delete (and salt)&mdash;clear consensus rooted in Wikipedia policy has been established. Yes, there are multiple independent sources that mention Bowles in passing, but his treatment in all but one of these sources is not "significant" in any definition of the word. &mdash; Deckiller 00:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Recreated article on fringe candidate for President in 2008. It was previously deleted but a speedy delete was declined. He was not on the ballot in any states and there is no proof he received any votes. There was a strong consensus to delete the article in 2007. TM 21:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions.  --  Ray  Talk 06:01, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN cleanly, redirection is not called for given that he wasn't on the ballot. I find nothing to suggest that the old consensus should be changed in this case. Ray  Talk 06:03, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete A fringe activist with no notability in any WP-accepted sense of the word. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:06, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom., and above comments. Non-notable fringe candidate.--JayJasper (talk) 17:18, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:NOTNEWS. I'm OK with redirecting news items like this as a plausible search term if an appropriate redirect can be found. Location (talk) 18:48, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Snow delete and salt. This is the ultimate fringe type of non-notable political candidate. Consensus has not changed on this issue, and in fact has hardened to delete such articles. Bearian (talk) 23:39, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
