I originally tagged this for speedy deletion and the author removed the tag (twice). The article has been cleaned up some since then, however I'm still not convinced of the notability of the subject and the article probably still violates WP:NPOV. Running this through AfD seems like the best option. AutomaticStrikeout 02:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable, no GNews or GHits. Refs do not show notability. GregJackP Boomer! 02:51, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/redirect to United States Senate election in Wisconsin, 2012. I gave the article a thorough scrubbing of all of the blatant promotional material, but it was all in vain since there just aren't any sources out there to show that this guy is a notable candidate for office. The only things that come up that pertain to him are predominantly "junk hits" (such as people searches and social media sites) or primary sources that cannot show notability. The links that were previously used as sources (which I've moved to the EL section) do not show notability and the ones that aren't primary are not the type that would be considered reliable sources. As for the justifications against the PRODs in the article's talk page, merely running for an election does not give automatic notability. While you do have to put forth a little effort to get on the ballot, it's not a task so overwhelmingly arduous that the process would be notable. (It's not the equivalent of descending to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, in other words.) I suggest that since his name is on the ballot, a redirect probably wouldn't be unreasonable, although I'm not sure how often it'd actually be searched once the election is over let alone during the election.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A senator is a notable person, a person who runs for senate is not necessarily a notable person. I don't see anything in the sources that shows that he meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. The creator has moved the article to userspace, leaving a redirect behind- and also moved this discussion to userspace, although I reversed that one. Closing admin should check to make sure she doesn't leave any stray bits behind if article is deleted. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:31, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are sources for some of the information in the article, but because: 1) there's not really journalistic articles (other than a transcription of one interview) that discusses his campaign, 2) attempts to make sources look like they are source of information about Mr. Nimrod, 3) being a senate candidate is not enough in itself to warrant and article and 4) I cannot find anything on the IDEA Independent party, I agree with others about deleting the artice.--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:13, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
