Delete- I'm not seeing the notability. The reliable sources only mention him in passing. . It's not quite clear from the opening sentence what it is he does, or is notable for. The opening sentence appears to be asserting his notability rather than proving it. . I'm not seeing anything significant. The tone of the piece suggests this is a vanity article - and it was created by a single purpose account. I'm inclined to support a delete unless somebody turns up something more significant.

Keep : all search results seem to note his candidacy for mayor of Los Angeles Fife~ 20:25, 11 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FifeStarMedia (talk • contribs) — FifeStarMedia (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Procedural note. This AFD was never listed properly. I have just added it to the AFD log today, so it needs discussing for 7 days from now. SmartSE (talk) 14:34, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - None of the sources in the article provide significant coverage of the subject and a search in factiva for better references has turned up nothing for this particular Robert Vinson. SmartSE (talk) 14:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can only find that he was candidate for a member of the City Council, not for Mayor. (not that he would have been notable as a candidate for mayor, but there is a difference--I see he worked on someone else's campaign for mayor--perhaps that's the source of the confusion).

Procedural note This semi-automated edit of mine unlisted it again straight after I added it back in March... I guess it needs another seven days from now. SmartSE (talk) 19:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Evidence sufficient to establish notability under Wikipedia standards is neither provided nor found in the usual searches. Note: others of the same name may well be notable, especially the Robert Vinson who was president of the University of Texas 1916-1923. [1][2] --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:16, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Neither his business career nor his unsuccessful candidacy for local office provide notability as Wikipedia defines it. --MelanieN (talk) 02:39, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
