1. Generic anti-gay stuff sounds like it counts - David Gerard (talk) 14:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
2. Harmless unique content consonant enough with mission. Nutty Roux (talk) 19:08, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
3. See above two. 32℉uzzy; 0℃atPotato (talk/stalk) 21:40, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
4. Seems okay. Carpetsmoker (talk) 22:48, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
5. Why not? So the article is basically a stub (I'd love to hear more about the "responsible for the ads that ruined Michael Dukakis's run for president in 1988"-stuff for instance), but being the first openly gay POTUS candidate ought to merit a keep both in terms of U.S. political history and RW mission. It also illustrates that there are still people willing to run for the GOP who aren't Tea Party nutters or über rich vulture capitalists. ScepticWombat (talk) 12:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

1. Looking around, He hasn't done a whole lot recently besides generic anti anti-gay stuff and basically had 5 minutes of fame as a openly gay, no-shot candidate last election. Basically, what are we going to say that wikipedia doesn't already cover in a more formal tone. If there is more and i just didn't see it, i'll rescind my vote though.

2. He might be relevant in a few years if US conservatives come to their senses and decide to take a more conciliatory approach to gay issues. But otherwise, no. Osaka Sun (talk) 02:09, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
