A Junior High school teacher who ran in the primaries for a seat in the House a few years back, getting only 1.5% of the vote (that's in the primary, mind you). We don't have articles for similar "politicians" (to use the term in its broadest sense) apart from this one district election. This was nominated before here, narrowly surviving, much like this guy, before a further precedent against this type of article was set by the unanimous deletion at at the second nomination). I can't see how this guy passes WP:BIO, his existence as a teacher is of substantially more consequence than his failed bid for office, and we don't have articles on teachers.

I am also nominating the following related pages:

• Peter Fossett - similar case, but got a whopping 2.3%.
• Jeff Sinnard - got 2% (268 votes)

• delete all 3 TB at any rate claims "a common man" as his notability, PF is "intelligent and thoughtful" . JS has run twice. DGG 11:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Subjective article and strange selection of words. Not notabel, I guess. Ramduke — Ramduke (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
