As stated in the previous AfD: "Per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. He's a candidate for office but has never been elected. He's not notable outside of the campaign." This individual is only noted for running two failed campaigns, and has not been elected into any office. Zinderboff (talk) 21:04, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they lost — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, while unelected candidates get articles only if they can demonstrate either (a) preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy, or (b) compelling evidence that their candidacy was somehow a special case of markedly greater notability than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. Neither of those have been shown here. Bearcat (talk) 22:44, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or merge if possible). We routinely delete or merge unsuccessful politicians' articles of a variety of political parties. Bearian (talk) 19:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete despite being well sourced, WP:POLOUTCOMES states "Municipal and other local politicians are not presumptively notable just for being in politics, but neither are they presumptively non-notable just because they are in local politics." Brenae wafato (talk) 22:38, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
