The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Overwhelming consensus that the subject satisfies the GNG/BIO; per WP:SNOW unnecessary to prolong discussion. (non-admin closure) Goldsztajn (talk) 06:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Does not meet notability guidelines. Per WP:NPOL: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability". — WildComet talk 00:13, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - not just known for being a failed political candidate, has notability and referencing support which predates the recent election. - Indefensible (talk) 00:23, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. His legal troubles (largest ever forfeiture of proceeds of a crime in New Zealand!) meant he met WP:GNG independently before his fringe political campaign. The campaign did get him more attention and thus an article, but it is not the reason he meets GNG/BIO. Patar knight - chat/contributions 00:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep; notability not just from running in the by-election. We all know where this discussion is going; recommend WP:SNOW for the next editor who comes along. Iseult   Δx parlez moi 20:41, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - before failure. Operative word in nomination is "just". Nfitz (talk) 02:57, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep for the memes alone. -- Earl Andrew - talk 13:09, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG for the mess he caused in New Zealand, the mess he caused in Michigan, and the mess he caused in Toronto. There are enough folks out here in Michigan cursing his name to generate sufficient press coverage, never mind everywhere else. DontCallMeLateForDinner (talk) 01:57, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
