Probably non-notable politician. A failed Senate nomination candidacy (described as "far behind" in the few sources I could find). Article makes no specific claim of notability. Only passing mentions (candidacy related and as speaker on some events), but no in-depth coverage. GermanJoe (talk) 07:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete was trounced in the nomination process. Those who get major party nominations for US senate might be notable, but those who do not get them clearly are not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:19, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The other three candidates mentioned as in the Democratic primary had all held other elected offices.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A person does not get to keep an article whose only substantive claim of notability is that he was an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary — if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced case that he was already notable enough for an article before he became a candidate, then the fact of being a candidate for office does not get him into Wikipedia. Even the person who wins the party's nomination still has to win the big enchilada and thereby hold a notable office, or already be notable for other reasons, rather than getting into Wikipedia just on the candidacy itself.
