The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus defaulting to keep. On whether the article meets BLP policy of sufficient sourcing, I find Milowent's evidence of coverage to be sufficiently persuasive. Sjakkalle (Check!) 19:14, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability in question, article relies on only one source and is written like a CV.  thesimsmania  18:38, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as a failed candidate for governor of Texas who fails to cross the notability threshold. The article is in dire need of cleanup but that's not a matter for AfD. It reads like a plea from FreeRamsey.com (it's only noted source) and makes uncited claims that are problematic in a BLP. There's probably a paragraph worth of material that could be merged into Raza Unida Party if a couple of sources could be found but otherwise deletion is warranted. - Dravecky (talk) 07:03, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Partial Merge I agree Dravecky, it is not notable at all, however there may be some useful information to the Raza Unida Party, that's why I'm suggesting it be edited and merged into that article  thesimsmania  22:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Raza Unida Party, Texas gubernatorial election, 1972, and Texas gubernatorial election, 1974, in accord with long-standing precedent. JJB 04:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
• Keep: There's a LOT out there on this guy. He's no Leonard Peltier but I see consistent references in newspapers and books. Random ones: [1], [2] (a feature in texas monthly, which is a good sign of notability for texans), then there's many articles about 76-77 and the arrest/trial, e.g., [3].--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:05, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I also noted that the UofTexas library has his archives indexed, that's a sign his activities are of interest to scholars.[4].--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:07, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - clearly notable (see this from the Corpus newspaper, as well as what has been listed above. GregJackP Boomer! 14:31, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
