Comment: to Libertarian Party of Oklahoma as the obvious link) - the individual hasn't held any positions that would satisfies , either his charity work or county clerk. A national Chairman of the Libertarian party would seem to be significant enough, but I'm not sure that holds true for a State chairman. His journalist work hasn't been covered enough by others to qualify by that route.  restrictions, deliberately, are some of the harshest notability requirements to meet, and I don't believe he meets either them, or any other set

Comment: Way too many |primary sources, and not nearly enough |reliable ones that are substantively ''about him'', to deem him notable just for being a ''candidate'' for office. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins

Not all is lost though, we can keep some of the information on him on the party's page
