The vast majority of this coverage is local news coverage for an extremely minor, and always trounced, candidate. There is a little coverage of him more broadly just for the bizarreness of his actions, but nothing appraoching indepth or substantial. He fails all guidelines for notability of politicians. Beyond this, the article was deleted before with nothing of significance having happened since. He has run a few times, with even less impact than earlier.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:54, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep The Daily Beast provided a very in-depth profile. The Idaho Press-Tribune also did several stories on him. He seems to be notable as an activist and protester, although as the nominator mentioned it is not likely that he will ever win an election. Borock (talk) 13:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Comment There seemed to be a certain flavor of Wikipedia:I just don't like it in the previous AfD discussion, back in 2008.Borock (talk) 14:11, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Borderline NPOL but definite WP:GNG. At the first AfD in 2008, they complained that he "received temporary attention". Six years later, it's still coming. --BDD (talk) 16:19, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

- Keep - Notable, though the title should include his real name, rather just his changed name. Dinkytown talk 16:26, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- You could start an WP:RM for that, though I think his WP:COMMONNAME is "Pro-Life". (And I rather doubt he would have such notability without the name change.) --BDD (talk) 16:29, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - ever since I was doxed, I've been accused of being some liberal censor. Well, to continue to put the record straight (ahem), this woman-hating whack-job is a notable loony-bin. Bah humbug! Bearian (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- Rename to his birth-name. If he's ever successful (e.g., Prince the musician becoming a mega-star under that moniker), then we can entertain it, but until then it's merely a repeatedly-failed publicity stunt.--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 07:26, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
