[edit] Caesar St. Augustine de Buonaparte

Tagged for speedy as nn-bio. Whilst sounding ridiculous, Google certainly implies that this nutcase did do these things. AfD gets to decide if these things are enough for an article. Abstain. -Splash 00:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn. I don't think it's serious enough to warrant an article. Also, to even think of considering this person, I would have to see proof he not only tried to run for president, but that he actually got on the ballot in at least one state, so he could actually be called a "candidate". Without that, he's just one of countless insignficant crackpots. --rob 03:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per rob Dlyons493 05:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep in light of this article that proves he did run for the office. There's a mass of other Googleable material on him as well. Vizjim 14:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Please check that link; it indicates only that he was a "candidate" affiliated with "The Good Party", which hasn't established notability enough for a WP article of its own. None of that page's links indicate that he ever made it onto a ballot, and I agree with rob. I have several friends who "declared they were running for President" in postal game zines or other sources of entertainment and/or self-publicity. I haven't dug through the links from the Google search mentioned-but-not-linked above, but I would need something more substantial to vote to keep this. Barno 00:28, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Given the link of Vizjim and some other google, I change my mind. But it should be rewritten, making it clear it is a prank. Cyclopia 15:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable crackpot. Simply declaring that you're going to run for president isn't good enough; thousands of people do that. You need to actually get your name on the ballot. --Carnildo 23:12, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. According to the Federal Election Commission's report [1], he didn't get his name on one state's general election ballot, nor a primary ballot, nor even got votes reported as a write-in. User:Vizjim's link proves only that Buonaparte declared himself a candidate, not that he actually made any effort to participate in the election. --Metropolitan90 01:45, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I think if notability is asserted solely due to running for public office, the subject has to have made it onto the ballot. MCB 06:45, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, even if he made it onto a ballet, it wouldn't make him notable enough by itself. That he didn't, makes him even less notable. -- Kjkolb 08:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per other delete voters. Quale 01:12, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
