Article is about an unelected candidate for US Senate. Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Multiple, independent, non-campaign related sources do not exist. 2 of the four links on the page are to his campaign page and the other four are WP:ROUTINE announcements on the campaign.

 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. This is a textbook case of why we shouldn't have articles about otherwise non-notable unelected candidates. People like this should be covered in an article about the race.   Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  06:34, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep My experience has been that major-party nominees for U.S. Senate have been considered notable simply by virtue of having been nominated by a major party. I realize that this is not a "good" argument in Wikipedia terms, but it does explain why this article hasn't been nominated for deletion previously, despite having been around since 2008.
