I don't think this article passes notability criteria, and I am tempted to believe that the only reason it was created is because he was linked to Palin and the Tea Party. I don't see anything worthwhile to merit an article, as neither his military career, nor his political stance have been noted (outside Fox News).

Delete - I agree. --Kumioko (talk) 14:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails notability criteria. Artem Karimov (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN as an unelected former candidate. Although there is coverage in RS, I believe this would fall under WP:BLP1E. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 18:23, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As his candidacy was unsuccessful, he fails our notability guideline for politicians and there is no other claim of notability. The article can be recreated if he is elected to a significant office in the future. Cullen328 (talk) 20:46, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Clearly fails our notability requirements for politicians. Jwkpiano1 (talk) 06:58, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This individual is more noteworthy now, since the Tucson shooting, than he was as a candidate, in part because of his campaign event with an assault rifle, as described in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishboyfay (talk • contribs) 23:12, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. After the election, he acquired additional notability because (1) in the wake of the shooting of Giffords, there was wide reporting of his campaign event at which he had invited people to shoot an M16 to help him "get on target for victory"; and (2) with Giffords incapacitated, he was further criticized for what struck some as unseemly haste in wanting to run for the seat again. [1] These factors distinguish him from the usual unsuccessful candidate. JamesMLane t c 09:27, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Recent events have made him sufficiently notable. DGG ( talk ) 04:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete BLP1E, so far. Any information we have about this person belongs in United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Arizona,_2010#District_8. If that article gets too long, recreate this one. Shii (tock) 12:12, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
