This was "kept" in 2007, but not with very good arguments--pretty much everything was kept in those days. Citations that were supposed to prove notability were things like this one, a few short quotes in a short newspaper piece--that's not in-depth discussion of the person in a reliable source. The article itself is still a vanity piece where the basic facts which are supposed to prove his notability aren't even properly verified. One of the old "keep" arguments was "he's a former politician"--which wasn't verified, let alone whether he was notable by our politician standards. Essentially, we have a few hits in a few newspaper articles that verify that...well, that he said things to newspapers. There are no newspaper articles that prove that he is or was actually someone who is notable. Drmies (talk) 16:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
