Here are just 4:

 * Delete. 468 G-hits isn't a lot, especially if half of those hits are coming from his own election website. This guy didn't win the election (last place), and in only one of the links you listed (which isn't even a news website) is he the main subject of the article. In the other three links you provided, he's just only briefly mentioned, which to my reasoning is not what I would exactly call "newsworthy". Also, this article is linked to no other articles on Wikipedia. (besides AfD live feeds on other people's user pages)-- Nish kid 64 18:53, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
