Failed U.S. Senate Nominee, only reliable sources are about controversies. No reason to keep since he's never held office / Fails WP:NPOL and WP:N. Unsure about WP:GNG since there is coverage, that's the main discussion here. Redditaddict 6 9 13:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

- Delete, nothing remarkable or notable, per GNG. Trivial. Kierzek ( talk) 18:00, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect and Merge - standard failure under WP:NPOL. While his statements about his opposition might have caused one-off flashes they both lacked any form of lasting coverage and not particularly outside the standard US political coverage during an election bid. Therefore neither NPOL or GNG satisfied. As he was only the actual candidate in one election, I believe it is standard form to redirect appropriately, here United States Senate election in Iowa, 2008 Nosebagbear ( talk) 14:24, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

- It isn't critical, but it could be beneficial to merge the actual controversy details to the same location, Nosebagbear ( talk) 23:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete Non-notable politician per WP:NPOL. Nor does service on a warship make you notable under WP:SOLDIER. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:12, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
- Delete a non-notable failed political candidate. We have decided that such individuals are not notable for being major party candidates alone. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 22:32, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
