The article says he is a lawyer in North Carolina, and was an apparently unsuccessful candidate for North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture in 2008 and an apparently unsuccessful candidate for Wake County District Court Judge in 2014. None of that satisfies the applicable notability guideline, WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 22:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being a non-winning candidate for political office is not an inclusion freebie in and of itself — if he had won election as commissioner of agriculture, then there'd be a case for inclusion, but merely being a candidate for that office doesn't cut it, and county judgeships are a local level of office where even if he'd won the seat he still wouldn't get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing if his notability couldn't be credibly referenced to nationalized sources. Our role is to have articles about the holders of notable offices, not every unsuccessful candidate for every political office that exists at all, and there's no preexisting notability for other reasons being shown or sourced here either.

Delete - sorry, but he does not meet my standards for notable attorneys. Bearian (talk) 02:00, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not sufficiently notable. His attempts to be voted in as District Court Judge appear to have been unsucessful. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:48, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
