Another campaign platform for another non-notable canditate, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Adams (political candidate) for a similar AFD, Delete-- Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 20:07, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete, Vanity piece, reads like a bad campaign brochure. Do notthink we need to know what he stands for, what what has he accomplished. No independent references on him either.Callelinea 20:53, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete The article certainly needs work, but there are independent sources listed on his website. [1] Amusingly he includes paid adverts in his list of press coverage, but he does seem to have received some genuine coverage in the local press [2] [3] and on local TV [4] which could be used to improve the article. However, he's still struggling to meet WP:BIO, and the argument made elsewhere that notable candidates in a national election should have received national coverage is a reasonable one Iain99 21:33, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. On one hand, I'm not sure if a presidential candidate with 21 supporters could be considered notable, and candidates are generally not considered notable by Wikipedia precedent. On the other hand, that precedent generally refers to candidates for offices such as MLAs and representatives; a candidate for President of a country may be more notable. But 21 supporters.... --Charlene 01:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete A notable candidate for president would receive national press notice, 21 supporters probably explains why he has not. Davewild 06:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I was surprised to learn a few years ago that there are actually masses of candidates running for President of the US, it's just that the overwhelming majority of them aren't notable, much like this fellow. If he attracts press coverage, he may well become notable later on in the election cycle. As it stands, there's no coverage of him and (apparently) hardly any support which might translate into same later. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:05, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per most comments above. If the subject attains national press coverage later in this election campaign, or qualifies for the general election ballot in at least one state, the article should be re-created later. --Metropolitan90 07:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per Charlene, Metropolitan90 and BigHaz, and per WP:SOAP. Bearian 20:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
