• Delete The subject is a candidate for the Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district special election, 2018, which, by itself, does not meet WP:NPOL. All of the existing sourcing of the subject is in the context of that election. --Enos733 (talk) 18:17, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being as yet unelected candidates in pending elections — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he already satisfied an inclusion criterion for some other reason besides the candidacy, then he has to win the seat and thereby hold office to get a Wikipedia article because of the election in and of itself. Rick Saccone, by comparison, does not have an article for being the Republican candidate in the same election; he has an article because he's held office in the state legislature. But this makes no claim of preexisting notability at all, and is filled with advertorialized nonsense like "If elected, he would be the first Libertarian Party candidate ever elected to U.S. Congress" — which is technically true, but any other Libertarian running in any other congressional seat could also make the exact same statement too, so it's not evidence in and of itself that his candidacy is any sort of special case. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he actually manages to pull it off, but nothing here entitles him to already have a Wikipedia article today.

• Delete. As written, it comes across as campaign literature. Would need a major rewrite to stay. MensanDeltiologist (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unless Miller wins the election he will not be notable. If he wins the election, we can recreate an actually well written article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete We have been through all this so many times. If he hasn't been elected, then he is not notable as a politician. If he is not notable otherwise, then he is not notable at all. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:48, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN.  M A A Z   T A L K  17:35, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:NPOL, no notability outside of candidacy. Mélencron (talk) 21:37, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
