Non-notable politician. Being a member of a school board and a failed statewide candidate is insufficient to establish WP:POLITICIAN notability. Other possible grounds for notability are lacking: Giving a speech at a rally or having the NAACP denounce you does not make one a "major tea party" figure.

Delete as he fails the notability guideline for politicians. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 17:42, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Yes, it seems like electioneering and hasn't held statewide office or anything higher than school board, but has generated some recognition. And Wake County is one of the largest counties in NC, so it isn't just like any other school board out there. I would say delete completely because he does fail WP:POLITICIAN to me too, but then my AfD of Scott Keadle wound up as no consensus. Seems similar. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 19:02, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:POLITICIAN, hasn't risen above the level of county school board member RadioFan (talk) 02:57, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to North Carolina Council of State elections, 2012. Some of the information in the article could be added to the elections page. Enos733 (talk) 19:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to North Carolina Council of State elections, 2012 or Wake County Public School System; subject does not appear to be individually notable per WP:ANYBIO or WP:POLITICIAN, but the subject is an elected member of the Wake County Board of Education. If there is a section about the board, a redirect to that section could be seen as appropriate. If the primary notability of the subject is the statewide election, it is common that a redirect to the statewide election be left in the article space. Plus, redirects are cheaper than deletions.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
