Founder of a minor state branch of a minor political party, fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Devonian Wombat (talk) 14:25, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete meets neither WP:GNG or WP:NPOL per nom. Based on this obit, he never did anything of note outside of his local community. There would need to be evidence of a larger impact to meet any notability threshold. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:50, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Changing vote to redirect to Libertarian Party of Delaware. My rationale still stands, but redirecting is a viable alternative to deletion here. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:27, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being a founder of a minor fringe party could get a person in the door if you could cite enough reliable sourcing to get him over WP:GNG — but it is not an automatic notability freebie that entitles him to keep an article that's based entirely on primary sources, as this is.

 * Comment As the creator of this article, I'd like to see it rationally/appropriately merged into Libertarian Party of Delaware. I can conduct the merge if needed.  Thanks for considering this as an alternative to outright deletion.  --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 02:15, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 03:41, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Libertarian Party of Delaware or Delete. Plausible search term. I encourage the creator to add relevant and sourced material to the Libertarian Party of Delaware page. --Enos733 (talk) 04:47, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
