Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harry Braun, Democratic Presidential Candidate, 2016
I'm not sure what you mean by this: ''MelanieN seems to have accomplished that attitude-adjustment already with the BLP themselves''. If you mean I have tried to improve the article, that's true. But if you are suggesting that I have changed my mind about deleting the article, you are mistaken. As a |scientist he is not notable: he has no academic position or advanced degree; his "research", actually advocacy, is sparsely published and is almost completely uncited by others; his book is self-published. And as a |political candidate he is not notable. Note that for an unsuccessful candidate for political office, election coverage is not enough to establish notability - because such coverage is routine and is not about them specifically. But election coverage is pretty much the only Reliable Source coverage the article has to offer. So, sorry, I still favor deletion. I know he pleads that he must have an article here if he is to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, but IMO it's the other way round: since he is not taken seriously by reliable sources, should not have an article here
