Subject appears to not be notable as an army officer, businessman or politician and the page appears to be little more than a promotional resumé/life story, with links provided to the businesses he supposedly runs in the lead. The article has no third-party sources and seems to have been mostly written by a series of SPAs with a presumed connection to the subject, such as Saxoncongress (talk · contribs), Samanthajose (talk · contribs) and GaDawg2011 (talk · contribs). He appears to have some limited coverage in news media around the time of a failed congressional bid in 2008, but nothing much else of any substance. N-HH talk/edits 15:20, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect. Viable search term; redirect to the election where he is already appropriately covered, United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia, 2008#District 10 until notability requirements are met or a similarly named individual supplants the redirect.

- Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia, 2008#District 10. A redirect is a common outcome for losing candidates for the U.S. Congress. 98.255.206.166 (talk) 18:04, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
