Could you put a "fact" tag on those pieces of information in the article which you feel are unsupported at present, so we see what the specific problems are that we need to address? E.g., do you feel it's unsupported that he's a mayor, that he's (not officially, apparently) running for Lt. Gov., that

attribution in the article I think it's a waste of my time to try to improve an article to a by-the-book standard that nobody here actually cares about. I don't waste 30 seconds of time on improving a contested article, because the article often gets canned anyway because of a few people who refuse

He is fairly notable, somehow I've already heard of him and I'm in
Australia. I get the sense he will become very important in the future, perhaps affecting the lives of everyone on this planet.
346:
Great. Why don't you put the references in the article instead of here because the article has to assert his notability not the article for deletion. And the blog doesn't count. -

That the sources seem to be independent from the subject and from reliable established media. That the information in the sources support what is written in the article. -
