Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. The only available sources on him seem to be run-of-the-mill campaign coverage, trivial mentions, and WP:PRIMARY. My WP:BEFORE search across multiple search engines found no WP:RS-based significant coverage of him. Please note that having been a national chair of a minor party does not confer presumed notability. Sal2100 (talk) 23:08, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete. I do not believe his runs for office or his chairmanship of the Libertarian Party qualify him as notable. However, a review of Ballot Access News and some newspaper searches indicate that he might qualify under general advocacy for ballot access even if done as chairman of the LNC. Other LNC chairs have not gotten that kind of coverage for ballot access advocacy. I'm not so sure of that outcome that I can demonstrate we should keep the article, but anyone who is advocating a "keep" may want to explore that route.--Mpen320 (talk) 00:26, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - appears to fail NPOL and GNG. There's just not much RS coverage. Iamreallygoodatcheckers^t@lk 04:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above, and because consensus has changed to exclude minor party officers from automatic notability, and due to lack of coverage, this person is not notable. Bearian (talk) 15:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
