Non-notable former political candidate who ran as an independent in 2006 and was never able to get his name on the ballot. There was apparently a little news coverage over his outrage at not getting his name on the ballot but, other than one Associated Press story I found, it all seems to be trivial.

• Keep. He was covered by at least two of Tennessee's major newspapers and was the subject of the above-mentioned AP item. Trivial coverage, maybe, but I'd like to see another good reason to delete than notability alone. Full disclosure--I am the article's principal author. · jersyko talk 00:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
