Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person whose only claim of notability is his candidacy for office in a future election. As usual, this doesn't get him over WP:NPOL — a person has to win an election, not just run in one, to qualify for a Wikipedia article if the claim of notability is resting on the election — and the volume of sourcing present here does not adequately demonstrate that he has the preexisting notability necessary to get over WP:GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if he wins, but he's not entitled to keep an article in this state. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:34, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - while the man was very occasionally quoted in the press in recent years, I could find nothing substantial, and as noted, merely running for president is no indicator of notability. (Which kind of makes me wonder why Jim Carlson or Joe Schriner have articles, but I digress.) I do like the "if he wins" part: the most recent poll shows the top nine candidates pulling in 99% of the vote &mdash; and Craescu is not among those top nine. He'd need a pretty big surge over the next month. - Biruitorul Talk 16:19, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Being a candidate is not enough to meet WP:NPOL. No significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 18:56, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
