Nominated for deletion in 2005, but rationales at that time were poor, TBH - the three keep votes had "GHits" for one, and nothing at all for the others. Having gone over the article, it does not meet WP:POLITICIAN - he has never held office, does not seem to have significant press coverage because he is not a major local political figure, and that lack of coverage also affects his ability to meet the GNG.

 * Delete - I'm a bit wary of saying someone who attracted more than a quarter of a million votes isn't notable, but the nominator seems to be right in that he was unsuccessful for office and has attracted no significant personal coverage outside of that election bid. He therefore fails WP:POLITICIAN and his article should go. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:59, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete In runs for office Cloud lost by large margins and he later helped sponsor a losing tax provision. I can find no coverage about him that I would consider significant, so I think the mention in the tax article is sufficient. Hekerui (talk) 00:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
