Can't determine that Jon A Greenspon been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. The subject also doesn't meet the criteria for politicians at WP:BIO. Sancho 20:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable sources. Candidates aren't automatically notable, it has to be shown in each case. All I could find was a web site for his party, the New American Independent Party, his campaign website, and some Google hits that either weren't independent of the subject, or seemed obscure. Actual mentions of his name in the regular press might change the situation. I didn't even find any links to press mentions on his campaign website. EdJohnston 21:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. I was ready to jump in with a KEEP, but even his party New American Independent Party doesn't provide any 3rd party sources and has had one candidate (claimed) who received 4% of the vote.  Once.  No corporate info, only website.  This is yet another candidate for a party that fails to establish its own notability.  With politicians, I prefer to give miles of latitute to 3rd party candidates as main stream media often ignores and neglects them, but this is just a bit too obscure for me without at LEAST mediocre sources.  Fails WP:notability.  Might be notable for something other than presidential candidate if the 15 articles claim is true, but that is not really the reason the article is asserting notability, so would require rewrite.

 * Delete. Numerous people declare themselves independent/minor party presidential candidates in every U.S. presidential election. A much smaller number actually make it onto the ballot in even one state. Right now, the subject is just one of the "numerous people". It is too early to know whether he will actually make it onto a ballot, and without ballot access or independent coverage from reliable sources, he cannot yet be considered notable. --Metropolitan90 06:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
