Fails WP:NPOL. He has run for office several times but never won. He doesn't otherwise meet WP:GNG. Marquardtika (talk) 16:43, 9 November 2022 (UTC)


 * As I said on the talk page, he's received "significant press coverage", though. It seemed originally that he was the favorite to win, which would of course grant him notability, but he has lost the general. Augusthorsesdroppings10 (talk) 18:03, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Every candidate in every election always gets some degree of campaign coverage, so the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself sufficient to say that the candidate passes WP:GNG and is therefore exempted from having to pass WP:NPOL — if that were how it worked, then every candidate would always get that exemption, and NPOL itself would be meaningless since nobody would ever actually have to be measured against it at all anymore. Rather, an unelected candidate's sourcing has to pass at least one of two other tests: either (a) it demonstrates that they already had sufficient preexisting notability to qualify for a Wikipedia article independently of the candidacy (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) it demonstrates a reason why their candidacy should be seen as a special case of significantly greater notability than everybody else's candidacies (e.g. Christine O'Donnell.) But this demonstrates neither of those things. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
