WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a non-winning candidate for political office. While this tries harder than usual to show preexisting notability for other endeavours independent of his candidacy, it misses the boat for reliably sourcing that -- his career in business is sourced entirely to patent directories, deadlinks and his own self-written content about himself rather than to any media coverage about him -- which means it hasn't been properly demonstrated that he passes our inclusion rules for businesspeople. And nothing about the candidacy section suggests any reason why he could be considered more notable than the norm for non-winning candidates, either. Delete.

Delete - I find the nominator's arguments convincing. I have reviewed the notability claims (aside from political candidacy), and found them wanting. Belongs on ballotpedia, not wikipedia. Fieari (talk) 02:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as he would've only been notable had he actually assumed the House of Representatives position, but since he had not and there's nothing else convincing, there's nothing to save. SwisterTwister talk 00:39, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
