Fails . Many of the cited sources are from PR Newswire, aka press releases from companies he has worked for. Some, like #25, are WP:SELFPUB. Others are tweets and some blog pieces pointing out how wacky he is on Twitter. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:04, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose The policy regarding notability for candidates running for office is that "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." A quick google search brings me the following. https://screenrant.com/dragon-ball-z-criticism-kw-miller-florida/, https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/07/florida-congress-candidate-kw-miller-claims-dragon-ball-z-is-anime-porn.html, https://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/celebrities/article244021727.html, https://www.al.com/news/2020/07/florida-congressional-candidate-beyonce-worshiped-at-alabama-satanist-church.html, https://www.theroot.com/florida-man-house-candidate-k-w-miller-has-a-problem-1844408338, https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-beyonce-italian-20200710-pm5ewckxfzg3tbsd3ofgyugbui-story.html, https://www.dailydot.com/debug/kw-miller-qanon-florida-candidate/, https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2020/07/06/the-bizarre-beyonc-conspiracy-theory-explained/#30f61eb534c4. Just because someone is notable for being a complete loon doesn't mean they aren't notable, and the large amount of coverage Miller received from National and International press confirms this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EnviousDemon (talk • contribs) 22:43, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails WP:POLITICIAN. I have just removed the infobox link that went directly to his fund-raising website. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability" This reads like a political campaign advertisement. No evidence he's held office before. No indication he's ever been interviewed by any major/national news media. Ballotpedia is self-published. His list of corporate affiliations are not substantive of leadership roles.— Maile (talk) 22:47, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment - While I stand by my position above, if the page does end up getting removed, my I suggest that we put in a redirect to Florida's 18th congressional district EnviousDemon (talk) 08:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete non-notable candidate for public office, if elected he will be notable, but is not yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:23, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Yeesh! My gut instinct would be to either Delete or Redirect to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida#District 18, because candidates for political office are not inherently notable. Given how "crazy-town banana-pants" this situation is, it may meet our "Christine O'Donnell exception". The only counterpoint I would make is that O'Donnell and people like Paul Nehlen and Art Jones were major party candidates when they were candidates, so as an independent he may not have the same level of notability.

- Delete, not elected on the national level, fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 08:21, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect to 2020_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Florida#District_18 with the caveat that there not be five paragraphs of text about the candidate in that article and that the candidate have ballot access at the time of the redirect. Otherwise I feel it should be deleted.--Mpen320 (talk) 21:53, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete due to being non-notable candidate for public office. Which is WP:TOSOON for an article. Plus, the candidate fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG anyway. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
