Subject fails the general notability guideline as well as WP:POLITICIAN. Could not find significant coverage in independent reliable sources either for his academic career or for his political candidacies. JayJasper (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. Plus, all the sources in the article are either primary, non-reliable, or provide only trivial coverage of the subject. No evidence of notability.--NextUSprez (talk) 21:36, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nomination. This individual's sources are negligible, and he doesn't appear to have any notable works in his field, and was a non-competitive candidate Spartan7W § 19:03, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Nothing he has done to date makes him notable. If he makes a significant showing the the New Hampshire Primary or Iowa Caucus, or gets lots of press, we can recreate the article with better sources, but at present a mention in the article on the 2016 Republican Nomination will be sufficient.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:05, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete - I'm not sure that he'd even pass WP:PROF. There are currently no reliable, secondary sources about this person, but if somebody looks, they might be able to find something. Bearian (talk) 19:10, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
