Delete Fails WP:NPOL as defeated political candidate. No other claim to notability. AusLondonder (talk) 04:10, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SNOW and WP:POLOUTCOMES. We almost always delete unsuccessful candidates, especially when they garner less than 12 % in a riding election. Bearian (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unelected candidates do not get articles just for being candidates, and this makes no credible claim that he has preexisting notability for anything else. Bearcat (talk) 21:35, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments (and nom). Not notable coming in third in an election with no other claim to notability. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 20:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
