Person "notable" only as an unelected candidate for political office, thus failing WP:POLITICIAN. Also a high prospect of WP:COI (see creator's username). He'll most likely qualify for an article if he wins, given Atlanta's status as a major city whose city council would count as sufficiently notable, but merely being a candidate for office is not enough to qualify someone for an article on here.

 * Delete per nom. Thus far unsuccessful candidate for local offices. Ray  Talk 19:39, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- great nom. Could an admin keep the article on their watchlist though in case he does win to undelete?, since I agree with Bearcat that being on the city council of a city the size of Atlanta is notable. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 01:42, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. As an unelected politician he does not pass WP:POLITICIAN and he also seems far from WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:45, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Georgia state elections, 2006. The subject has received some slightly more than passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, but none that I would consider significant coverage and thus it can be reasonably argued that the subject is not notable per GNG and ANYBIO. That being said, the subject of this AfD has ran for a statewide office and lost, and as such POLOUTCOMES apply and as such a redirect to that election is the common practice rather than outright deletion.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
