WP:BLP of a writer, musician and unsuccessful political candidate, with no strong claim of notability under our inclusion criteria for any of those endeavours. The books were all self-published and there's no evidence of substantive coverage about his writing in reliable sources -- the only RS citations present here at all are to coverage of his non-winning campaigns for the mayoralty of his own hometown. While this was kept in a deletion discussion back in 2005, our notability and sourcing rules have been tightened up considerably in the past decade -- and nothing here claims or sources anything that would pass the rules as they stand today.

 * Delete as per nom The only hits my proquest news search got on Kenneth Montgomery Keillor (using No parentheses) were 2 stories from the Abbotsford News, both routine coverage of a 2005 run for Mayor  on the "Freedom Party" ticket.  He is listed as losing a legislative race in Freedom Party of British Columbia.  This:  is the best I can do in my attempt to source his career as a singer-songwriter.  It' s just not enough.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as my searches are not finding anything particularly better and there's nothing outstandingly convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  04:40, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
