The result was speedy keep. The nom hasn't even bothered with searching for sources as these have all been nominated within seconds of each other. No objections to speedy renomination by anyone except the nom. (non-admin closure) –Davey2010^Talk 01:37, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: and author and publisher and theatre founder. Graemp (talk) 09:11, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Author, publisher and theatre founder are not claims of notability that entitle a person to an inclusion freebie just because they're asserted, either — those careers all still require reliable source confirmation of the person's notability, not just their existence, in those fields.

An unelected candidate for office does not get a Wikipedia article just because of the candidacy itself — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that they were already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some reason independent of their candidacy, then they do not become eligible for a Wikipedia article until they win the election. But this, as written, does not demonstrate his notability as an "author and publisher and theatre founder" — it just asserts those things, and completely fails to reliably source that he was notable for any of those things (which is not the same thing as "existed"). Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can properly source him over WP:AUTHOR. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
