The result was delete. Since I can't track down an article about "the elections" he ran in to merge to, I'm afraid it has to be deletion. Pigman ☿ 01:05, 11 May 2008 (UTC) reply
Tough one, this. There are many many Google hits, but the sources cited in the article - an "unofficial website under construction since 2002", a YouTube video and some personal commentary - appear to be representative. Searching News and Scholar came up with only one source, http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.0735-2166.2004.00212.x, which is not about this individual but only mentions him as a local character in Memphis elections. I'm sure that this guy really is a household name in Memphis, but WP:V is policy and I am having serious trouble finding acceptable sources for what is, in the end, an article about a living individual, whihc paints that individual in less than flattering terms.
