This article fails WP:POLITICIAN, the notability criteria for politicians. The article was deleted in 2008 for the same reason and it doesn't seem like much has changed. There is also a redirect page at Richard William Aguirre. – Zntrip 21:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete He fails WP:POLITICIAN as he has never been elected, and no other persuasive claim of notability is made. Musical work is not notable. Cullen328 (talk) 22:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. The article has been changed to biography of living person WP:BLP and all of the foot notes support it. It is no longer marked as a WP:POLITICIAN, it is now WP:BLP Wikimikesd (talk) 23:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC) — Wikimikesd (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Don't Delete WP:BLP the article is being worked on to fit all the "Biography of a living Person" requirements. Wikimikesd (talk) 23:21, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The first paragraphs of the article discuss his political candidacies. Accordingly, our notability guidelines for politicians should guide this unless there is a convincing claim for notability in an area other than politics.  For example, Ross Perot was a notable businessman as well as an unsuccessful presidential candidate.  How, on the other hand, is this person notable?  Cullen328 (talk) 03:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: As even the SPA pushing this article implies, the subject certainly fails WP:POLITICIAN. Unfortunately for the SPA's premise that removing the political angle suddenly makes the subject notable, there's no other criteria under which he succeeds of notability either.  Fails WP:BIO and the GNG.   Ravenswing  06:21, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt under both versions of his name, Richard Aguirre and Richard William Aguirre. This guy again? This is actually his FOURTH AfD nomination. An article about him (as Richard Aguirre) was AfD'ed in August 2008. Articles about him (as Richard William Aguirre) were also AfD'ed, twice, in July 2009 and in May 2010. Enough is enough. He was non-notable in 2010 (where he got 4% of the vote in the primary election) and he is non-notable now. Most of the references are not Reliable Sources (blogs etc.) or do not provide substantial coverage. For example, the Union-Tribune link is just a blogger commenting that he has seen Aguirre's campaign signs.  --MelanieN (talk) 04:06, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
