Failed wannabe politician who withdrew from a city council race when it was found out that he was a regular poster on a racist website. Was covered, for a short period of time, by the local media and a generic AP story. Really nothing more than a case of WP:BLP1E because his climbing a flagpole is even less of an event than his failed candidacy. Article was declined for speedy once and then a prod was removed because there was supposedly discussion about a merge, but the discussion never happened. Original author appears to be blocked for socking. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:37, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete We usually say that an ordinary criminal is not notable. This guy didn't even raise to that level. No evidence that he had or has any influence on anyone else, or on events. Steve Dufour (talk) 07:12, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a one news cycle local politician. Bearian (talk) 04:29, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Most losing candidates for local political offices are non-notable. All of the subject's notability appears connected to that single race.   Will Beback  talk  21:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete rather non-notable. JBsupreme (talk) 17:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
