 * Delete As an unsuccessful candidate, he doesn't meet our notability guideline for politicians. No other convincing claim of notability is made.  The article can be recreated if he is elected to high office in the future (with unreferenced fluff eliminated). Cullen328 (talk) 01:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * weak Delete Although I was the suggester of the initial AFD. I feel like the article would be OK with a substantial rewrite. It also should be deleted as is. V. Joe (talk) 05:22, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep He's now running for the state's House seat in 2012, and since the state only has one seat he's a statewide candidate who's getting some coverage and will get more. NYyankees51 (talk) 01:32, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Being a candidate for office, even state-wide office, isn't enough to meet notability guidelines. --Muboshgu (talk) 01:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
