The result was   redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio, 2010. Redirect seems acceptable to most delete !voters. The exact target can be changed if desired; I'm just going with the one suggested. Shimeru (talk) 19:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

This article is nothing but an election piece - but unelected candidates are not inherently notable and Wikipedia should not be used to promote a candidate. I42 (talk) 06:49, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - There seem to be numerous reference that can be used to establish notability and be used the verify the claims made by the article. I don't see how this is purely a promotional article as there are no opinions in the article.   Ol Yeller  Talktome 21:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Every single one of those search results is about the election. The article is about the election. Wikipedia is being used to raise the profile of a candidate and the article is an election piece. I42 (talk) 06:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, you're seeing something that isn't there. Just because the news articles are only about the election doesn't matter.  At best, this would qualify for WP:ONEEVENT but I don't think that applies here.  Again, that's just my opinion.  Ol Yeller  Talktome 16:09, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 10:33, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect to the constituency page, per WP:POLITICIAN. A thoroughly unnotable unelected candidate. Consensus, as expressed in WP:POLITICIAN is that unexceptional candidates do not get their own pages. Coverage of candidates is usually done through the very narrow prism of their candidacies and forms no basis for a proper biography. Thus information on candidacies should be on an election page, not a separate candidate article. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable election candidate who fails notability criteria. Valenciano (talk) 17:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect He is on the ballot, but has never held office and does not seem to have significant independent coverage aside from the election itself. Instead of delete, the page could become a redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio, 2010.  --MelanieN (talk) 19:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
