303:- The problem with your perennial candidates this that often their quixotic campaigns are a source of notability, even though they are destined to be failures (from an electoral point of view). But this article makes no claims to notabiility as a perennial 'crackpot' candidate if you will. It does make a lot of grandiose claims with nothing to back it up. "He is an expert in Canada's tax system", "He is also an expert in emissions trading especially for non-point sources, and has worked on land trust and fundraising problems related to forest preservation and preventing deforestation, though he has never made a living in this field, his advice is widely sought by other Greens on ecology-related accounting matters." What? A re-write and some independent sourcing could help. 166:-- a perennial candidate, activist in local causes. This is well-written, and properly linked and categorised. If properly cited, it should be kept. there are far less notable people who have articles in Knowledge, including practically every minor character in Star Wars, Star Trek and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mr. King, in addition to running for political office all over the place, at least is real. 140:- all the content, besides the un-cited previous political candidacies, is non-notable. What information is notable, just the minimal information on the previous political runs, isn't really enough to justify the existence of one article. This article should be deleted and inline mentions added to the yearly election articles about his previous political candidacies. 181:
This individuals local causes are way too local to be of encyclopedic value; but, his public office runs are notable and I have recommended some course of action above to include this. Examples of non-notability and high subjectiveness without proper referencing within the article include "...tenant
263:
I can only admire his persistence in repeated electoral campaigns against all reasonable odds. Some possibly notable work is referred to in the article, such as "A briefing paper coauthored by King on GAAP and ISO 19011" If there were adequate references his work might be shown to be notable, but

279:. I agree with Luckyluke that this article was clearly not written in an objective manner, and as such I am skeptical of how 'prominent' the fellow is claimed to be. Even taking all claims at face value, however, I don't see notability. - 329:
I never heard of the guy, but perenial cadidates are a useful part of democracy and by that action alone he is probaly notable enough- ie someone is likly to do a search to see "who is this guy" he has a way to go to match

but if there are external sources, I would change that to Keep. A perennial political outsider will be N if noticed by the media, just like anything else.
