Subject is best known for his campaigns for US House of Representatives and Senate seats but has not won an election. Meatsgains (talk) 21:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP But the article needs work. Tim is infamous in North Carolina and there has been significant coverage of him in the media in the past. Eric Cable ! Talk 15:15, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the articles that have been published on him cover his political campaigns, all of which have been unsuccessful... right? Meatsgains (talk) 01:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unelected candidates for office are not eligible for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, except in vanishingly rare circumstances on the order of the media frenzy that ate Christine O'Donnell. Local media have an obligation to cover election campaigns taking place in their local coverage area, so all candidates are always going to get some local media attention — accordingly, campaign coverage does not count toward WP:GNG until it turns into something far outside the scope of the merely expected level of local coverage. But nothing shown or sourced here does that at all; nearly all of his campaigns are dispatched with a single sentence of the "he ran, he lost, the end" variety, and the only one that's covered any more substantively than that just makes him a WP:BLP1E. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat he's running for, but nothing shown here gets him a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 14:21, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
