WP:BLP, relying almost entirely on primary sources, of a person notable only as a political staffer and as a non-winning candidate for election to Parliament. These are not claims of notability that pass WP:NPOL, and the quality of sourcing doesn't grant him WP:GNG either — of the reference citations here, only #6 is actual coverage of him in a reliable source (#2 and #9 are technically reliable sources too, but he's the author of #2 and merely blurbed in #9), while everything else is to his profiles on the webpages of his employers, to campaign literature or to his own Facebook page. No prejudice against recreation in the future if a proper version citing real sources and making a substantive claim of notability can be created, but this version is a delete.

 * Keep looking at google, there are a whole range of diverse almost-reliable English-language sources, which is exactly what you'd expect from a non-English-language politician. Things like http://www.jambonewspot.com/top-100-most-influential-kenyans/ are particularly persuasive for me. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:37, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * A WordPress blogger namechecking him in a completely subjective list of who he personally deems to be the "100 Most Influential Kenyans", on his own blog and without so much as a single scrap of actual sourced or substantiated evidence for his rankings, is persuasive for you?

 * Keep, http://www.deputypresident.go.ke/index.php/principal-administrative-secretary/31-administration/141-nixon-kiprotich-korir seems to indicate a relatively notable position in national government. Plus runner-up in MP election. --Soman (talk) 15:28, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
