Non-notable person. Industrialist (CEO of a non-notable company); erstwhile politician (lost to Richard Blumenthal in the 2010 Connecticut Senatorial Democratic Primaries); former soldier and JAG officer of no particular preeminence. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:22, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the nominator WikiDan61. He never made it past a primary in a national campaign (his one almost notable accomplishment). --VViking_TalkEdits 14:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC) Delete One time event is not reasonable enough to keep a biography article. 2607:FB90:D8F:B1:1D32:C7C0:4208:FAEA (talk) 16:31, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as advertorial and still convincing of his own notability. SwisterTwister talk 17:39, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete candidates who lost the nomination for US senate are not notable (ones who won their party nomination for US senate might be default notable if in a major US party, this may be an exception to candidates not being notable, I do not think it has ever really been fully considered, but those who lost the nomination are not for that alone, and nothing else about Alpert is anywhere close to making him notable.)John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:11, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
