Having run for Treasurer, and losing by a considerable margin puts him in the WP:NPOL category. Other work (e.g., a LewRockwell.com essay and some accounting works) does not put him into GNG status. – S. Rich (talk) 03:37, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete found this ref [1], but being a friend of Andrew Tobias doesnt make you notable. his name may be prophetic: we may actually want less ant-man if the movie is bad:)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The one claim to notability in the article - the claim that his tally of votes when he ran for Treasurer was the most for any Libertarian and the reason for the party gaining ballot status - is not true. It is contradicted by the cited reference, which shows that another Libertarian candidate for another office in the same election got more total votes than he did. --MelanieN (talk) 15:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Being trounced in a race for state treasurer does not make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:20, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails our notability criteria. Jim Carter 08:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Antman is a frequently cited and published libertarian theorist, see Less Antman on C-Span, LewRockwell.com, and here. This article can and should be expanded, not deleted.--TM 14:30, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having one convention speech recorded by C-SPAN does not make one notable. Neither does being published and cited in partisan blogs. Significant coverage in reliable outside sources is needed.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I was going to say that his electoral performance winning the CA LP ballot status should be included on the CA LP's page (if there is one) before he was deleted for failing WP:POLITICIAN, but that's not true anyway. So, he can just be deleted. Tiller54 (talk) 17:13, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
