Person is not worthy of a wikipedia article. He is of no significance. Jerzeykydd (talk) 22:26, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: You say "he is of no significance", which I have to disagree with. Ellsworth founded a green energy company from his home in Las Vegas in 2004 that has grown to become the fourth largest ethanol producer in the world, employing approximately 640 people nationwide.[1] This information has been included now at the beginning of the article. Along with him being a current candidate for a seat with the U.S. Senate in Nevada makes him notable in my humble opinion. OSU1980 00:15, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to United States Senate election in Nevada, 2012 as the current biography fails WP:POLITICIAN because he is an unelected candidate and all of the references pertain to his current Senate campaign. That article about the election is the place where all candidates for this seat can receive neutral, balanced coverage. If Ellsworth is independently notable as an energy company executive, then that needs to be demonstrated with reliable sources that discuss him as an energy company executive instead of as a political candidate.

- Merge per Gene; this is the usual outcome of candidates who have no other prior evidence of notability. Bearian (talk) 20:45, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to United States Senate election in Nevada, 2012 - As an unelected candidate, Ellsworth does not pass WP:POLITICIAN, so should be deleted. If he is elected in the future, then an article will be merited; until then, a redirect will suffice.
- Merge and Redirect per above. - Jorgath (talk) 20:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
