An unsourced stub on a businessman who failed in his attempt to get elected to the senate in 1996 and has apparently not run again. Article has sat in this condition for two and a half years. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC) Nom withdrawn. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:16, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

- Comment Agreed, this article is poorly sourced. Many sources exist, however; I'll work on bringing it up to an acceptable level, and be back with my !vote after doing that. -Pete (talk) 20:50, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep. Even if Pete doesn't clean it up, there are plenty of news articles and book mentions to meet WP:BIO/WP:GNG. tedder (talk) 21:24, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep. He'd be notable just at founder of Mentor Graphics; the senate race is extra. Take a sad song and make it WP:BETTER. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 22:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

- Keep. Since Beeblebrox' nomination, I've added a good amount of detail, and about 10 sources. This guy's main claims to notability (the founding of Mentor Graphics, his role in establishing the industry of electronic design automation, his very narrow loss running for an open U.S. Senate seat) were all before the widespread availability of news and other media on the Internet, so research has been a little bit slow. But I think at this point, his notability is clearly established, and there is a reasonable amount of completeness and balance in the article. I'll keep working on it, but I think (hope) we're past the threshold of a clear "keep" at this point. -Pete (talk) 02:58, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good Pete, thanks for the work. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 03:54, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep -- on political grounds alone. He was a major-party nominee and lost a close race for a U.S. Senate seat. Kestenbaum (talk) 14:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- Keep - even if there were not now a ton of sources, we never, never delete an article because it is unsourced and hasn't improved in 2.5 years. We only delete if the topic fails all notability guidelines, which always includes actually searching for them in a good faith effort before nominating for deletion, see our Misplaced Pages:Guide to deletion.
