nn. although its great to see independent candidates, does not appear notable. —Gaff ταλκ 03:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

If I may, this person has been in the news multiple times, and is currently making a run for office. There are multiple creditable sources for everything mentioned on this page. -LuvataciousSkull 03:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Article needs cleanup, including all those links to YouTube (rich media are to be avoided per WP:EL), but the person is in fact covered in some independent secondary sources, thus meeting the first criteria under Wikipedia:Notability (people). Furthermore, the article seems well-researched and the author has made good attempts to assert notability. --Darkbane 04:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Once you take away the YouTube links and the footnotes that just link to the guy's own website, the article has hardly any citations at all. But the remaining ones do seem to establish a genuine, if local, notability. If cleaned up and wikified, I think it's fine. Ford MF 06:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Good Point OK, I'll get rid of the YouTube links. I'll ask for some other people to help clean it up. -LuvataciousSkull 08:53, 14 May 2007
  • Corrections Got rid of the YouTube links, and cleaned it up as much as possible. --LuvataciousSkull 12:46, 14 May 2007
  • Strong Keep Everything has been kept in good shape, and I do believe that is worth keeping at this point. -LuvataciousSkull 07:19, 16 May 2007
