 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete unelected candidates for public office are not notable for that, and he has no other way to actual establish a claim to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:25, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think there is a case for keeping the article. John's primary notability is not as a former congressional candidate (would it help if I changed the infobox template type?), but as a commentator on America's political climate, particularly race relations. He is well-recognized in the circles of the intellectual dark web (IDW) and is of the same status of other commentators like Coleman Hughes, Glenn Loury, Bret Weinstein, Thomas Chatterton Williams, Kmele Foster, Chloé Valdary, and John McWhorter (example here).

 * Delete. If there were any evidence-based indication that he is indeed an IDW notable, I would reconsider, but I can't see any such. Not a WP:NPOL pass either, per above. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 18:12, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
