Minor party candidate for state legislative office, who ran and lost. He fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Lincolnite (talk) 04:58, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It's probably only coincidence that this subject always appears in my watchlist just before he's about to run for an election. The sources provided are:

Delete: never-elected candidate, and on a relatively small ballot item at that. (If a person actually becomes a state rep with power to craft legislation, that might be a different story.) No evidence that this person has any more coverage than comes from being given somewhat equal time with others on the ballot in a local state House election (11,188 votes counted on this ballot item in the 2008 election; 16,013 in the 2010 election, of which Karpen received 5,526). --Closeapple (talk) 01:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
