The result was redirect to Prohibition Party#Electoral history. Consensus that NPOL/BASIC isn't reached, but that a redirect is most suitable. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While having been a veep candidate could get him in the door if he were shown to have sufficient reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG, being a minor party veep candidate is not an instant notability freebie that would exempt him from having to get over GNG on the sources just because he existed.

• Redirect to Prohibition_Party#Electoral_history. Rachel Bubar Kelly, Rolland Fisher, and George Ormsby (politician), Rutherford Decker, maybe more, should also be redirected. Don't think being involved in the Prohibition Party post-1930ish is grounds for automatic notability, these don't have substantive sources... Reywas92^Talk 20:34, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to Prohibition_Party#Electoral_history. We do not have enough for an article here. Failed candidate of a political party. Part of me wants to preserve the little bit we have here with a redirect per Reywas92 Wm335td (talk) 22:53, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
