The result was keep. This is way too fast since the last nomination, and since nothing has changed, consensus being that the subject met the GNG, there really is no point in doing this again--per SNOW. Drmies (talk) 04:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Fails WP:NPOL, with no independent notability outside of role as an unelected write-in candidate. Mélencron (talk) 20:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep, as creator. Meets WP:GNG, therefore NPOL is not relevant. His candidacy garnered a lot of relatively detailed coverage (WaPo, TIME, etc). And it's not a WP:BLP1E situation either, as there's coverage about him as a sculptor, cited in the article, predating his candidacy. The "Southern Living" article and video is quite in-depth; together with the election-related coverage we do have enough substance for an article.  Sandstein   21:50, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Why are we renominating this after 1 month? &mdash; cnzx ( talk  &#8226;  contribs ) 22:23, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. The result of this article's previous nomination was keep. Following discussion, the result was that the article met General notability guidelines. The editors who argued for this included: the article's creator, JAMillerKC, Kiernanmc, HighFlyingFish, Pharaoh of the Wizards, and a few others. Conversely, Bearcat gave a wonderfully articulate argument for delete (as did several others to a lesser degree). This nomination would best be served by WP:BEFORE prior to reviving a previous discussion. &#8213; Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖  22:29, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. MB298 (talk) 00:52, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge to United States Senate special election in Alabama, 2017. The election was notable, not the candidate.--Rusf10 (talk) 03:21, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * He has been established as being notable for other things. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Subject has been defined as meeting WP:GNG and thus WP:NPOL is irrelevant. Renomination so soon could be seen as disruptive. - The Bushranger One ping only 04:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per prior discussion. The election result doesn't change that he meets GNG. --HighFlyingFish (talk) 04:51, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
