 * Delete. Unelected candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates. Either you must show and properly source that he was already notable enough for an article on some other basis independent of his candidacy itself, or he doesn't get an article until he wins election to a notable office. Plus, for added bonus, I just checked its "what links here", and five of the six links were expecting different people. Delete, and restore the original redirect to W. J. Randall.
