Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN. The article's creator seems to have a close connection with the subject and has failed to keep a neutral point of view. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 22:12, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get articles just for being candidates for political office — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no strong claim of preexisting notability for other reasons independent of his candidacy, and is relying on a mixture of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and purely local media coverage in his own local area — but people are not automatically exempted from having to pass the subject-specific inclusion test for their occupation just because they've gotten their name into their own local media a handful of times, either. At this level of prominence, he would have to show nationalizing coverage that made him much more special than other as yet non-winning city attorney candidates before he could claim that his media coverage exempted him from having to win the election.
