Comment: to United States Senate election in Utah, 2010. If I was in the habit of punctuating !votes with "strong" or "very strong" I would do so here. This guy is not just a failed candiate, he's a failed ''primary candidate'', which means he hasn't even been on a general election ballot paper. He is therefore a long long way from meeting . There are sources that mention and discuss his candicacy. These should be ruled out on a number of bases: (1) they all discuss the candidacy and not Stout, hence the "biography" part of the article - the most important part - is completely unsourced; (2) as the sources only talk about his failed candidacy, it is essentially a ; (3) most importantly, any marginal case that he meets GNG is outweighed by his massive failure to meet . Both the GNG and  create "presumptions" of notability, not guarantees. Any presumption created by this guy passing GNG is very weak, and rebutted by his massive failure to meet our community's standards for inclusion of professional politicians
