WP:BLP of a person whose only substantive claims of notability are as an unsuccessful candidate in an election and as the brother of a more notable television producer. While the content here is written differently enough from the original version that I can't justify speedying it as a recreation of deleted content, his notability hasn't gotten any stronger under
WP:NPOL and the volume of sourcing still isn't enough to claim
WP:GNG instead. It's still either a delete, or a revert back to the redirect that resulted from the first discussion.

Most of the sourcing here just namechecks his existence in the process of failing to be about him — and the media are required to cover all candidates in an election taking place in their coverage area on "equal time" grounds, so campaign coverage falls under
WP:ROUTINE unless it erupts into a firestorm on the order of what happened to
Christine O'Donnell. If campaign coverage could get a person into Wikipedia in and of itself, we'd have to keep an article about every single person who ever ran for village dogcatcher.

United Independent Party - campaign statements are not creating notability for unelected candidates, the two sources taht mention him after the election are connected to his party activities, no stand-alone article warranted yet, per
WP:NPOL, and fails
