Delete I think he should have an article as there are polls that have him above 5% which allows him to be included on the election box. (I can`t believe that I forgot about the List of third party performances in United States elections I change my keep to a delete)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jon698 (talk • contribs) 19:42, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of third party performances in United States elections has numerous examples of candidates in statewide elections who exceeded 5% of the vote, but are not notable. Focus on Wyoming and Idaho especially. This applies to candidates of all third parties. It is also worth noting that he only exceeds 5% in two of the five polls listed in the article.Mpen320 (talk) 04:41, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Un-elected candidate for public office who does not have any other claim to notability and does not meet the primary notability criterion.--Tdl1060 (talk) 18:27, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Just being a candidate for office does not make an individual notable. AusLondonder (talk) 00:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being an as yet unelected candidate for political office is not a notability claim that gets somebody into Wikipedia in and of itself, polling above 5% is not a notability boost, and the article isn't referenced to even a fraction of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG.
