[edit] Removed speedy tag

Seems legit to me; I replaced the defunct external link. The guy didn't place in the top 10, but the 2003 recall was a real phenomenon of some interest, and I guess this fellow was one of the several hundred candidates that made it so. There's no harm in keeping the article. Bill 15:06, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Merely participating in the recall is not sufficient to make one notable. If his other accomplishments combine to make him notable, then that'd be different, but I don't see it adding up to any assertion of notability. But, as you say, there no harm in keeping it. This isn't Jason Gastrich. Cheers, -Willmcw 22:05, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I created this page because of his name, which is a darn funny one. Pretty much all, if not literally all of this man's media attention was for his name, not his campaign. -- user:zanimum
