Delete - Does not meet the criteria for notable politicians. Without that, the article must be judged on basic notability guidelines and there is nothing else to stand on except for being a "candidate". — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMMMadManiac (talk • contribs) 19:07, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I agree that he fails WP:POLITICIAN, but WP:POLITICIAN seems to recommend that this information be merged, then redirected to United States House of Representatives elections in Tennessee, 2012#District 3. After stumbling across a few candidates who have failed in multiple elections (hence the redirect target could be any of a number of articles), I'm not sure if I agree with this anymore. Another option would be to redirect to Zach Wamp#Personal life. Location (talk) 19:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:POLITICIAN says "Just being ... an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability", and he is not even a candidate for office yet, just a contender to become a candidate. Nothing else in the article even remotely begins to suggest notability. JamesBWatson (talk)

Delete As noted above, he lost his race and fails WP:POLITICIAN. Nwlaw63 (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
