Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Zimmerman (politician)
Zimmerman appears to be (mildly) notable as an activist, but not as a politician.  A failed candidate, as a rule, does not meet the notability requirements of .  Therefore, we need to look at the general notability requirements, as mentioned above.  The policy states that a'' "...person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."''  The Standard has at least two articles soley about Zimmerman: the one mentioned by CaliforniaAliBaba, above and http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=4&art_id=15672&sid=7342816&con_type=1&d_str=20060403 this one.  On that basis, I think there is (just) enough to meet the notability policy I quoted
