AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable politician; minor candidate for Democratic nomination for California governor; has never held office. --MelanieN (talk) 20:41, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Alternative: Instead of a delete, the page could become a redirect to California gubernatorial election, 2010. --MelanieN (talk) 23:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. This article should be tagged as of interest to California and to politicians, but I don't know how to do that. Thank you! --MelanieN (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: This is the second nomination. The first result was: delete, non-notable. A number of references have been added since then, but the only WP:Reliable sources are the local TV reports (about his announcement that he is running). The Sacramento Bee article gives him one sentence; the SFGate article (which may be an SFGate blog, I can't tell) is a brief item about how Aguirre is following presumed nominee Jerry Brown around to shout debate challenges; the Union-Tribune reference is actually a U-T blog; the OB Rag and Sacramento News and Review are blogs; and the Peninsula Beacon is a small, free weekly community paper. --MelanieN (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect to California gubernatorial election, 2010. Fails WP:GNG. --TorriTorri(Talk to me!) 02:44, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I see the author has chosen to restore to the article several references I had deleted. Those include the candidate's twitter, facebook and youtube sites; a duplicate link to the New York Times article (which is about another candidate and mentions Aguirre only in passing); and a link to "politicker" which does not seem to mention the candidate at all. I will leave them, since the author is new to Wikipedia and doesn't understand about WP:reliable sources, and let people make their own judgments. --MelanieN (talk) 13:56, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete no coverage in third party sources independent of the election. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Valenciano (talk) 18:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Second relist rationale. The article is a BLP. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
