Open and shut case of an unacceptable article as it never clarifies what his political positions are or were and my searches found absolutely nothing with the sole link of his campaign simply taking you to his LinkedIn and it appears the article was started by his family in December 2008 (Spanish naming customs, if that's the case here, suggest "González" may be a close connection as a brother or son). Pinging possibly interested user Dravecky who removed the speedy and added the COI tag. SwisterTwister talk 06:32, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wow, that speedy decline was December 1, 2008, so that's a callback. Still lacks sources nearly seven years later but I'm not currently in a position to research whether such sources exist so I won't !vote at this time. - Dravecky (talk) 10:49, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: as a candidate who didn't win he fails WP:NPOL. Coverage I can find is mostly mudslinging by political opponents (which I won't post because it's ugly) so fails WP:GNG as well. Deleted as spam from eswiki in 2008. Vrac (talk) 13:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; the only claim here is that he was an unsuccessful candidate in an election, which is not a claim that satisfies WP:NPOL. If it can actually be shown that he ever actually held another notable office besides that fact, then I'm willing to reconsider — but it's not a keepable article as currently written, since it doesn't make or source a substantive notability claim.
