WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a smalltown mayor and as yet non-winning candidate in a future election. As always, these are not notability claims that get a person into Wikipedia in and of themselves: a municipality has to be much larger than Meadow Lake before its mayors are presumed notable just for existing as mayors, and a person has to win the federal election, not just run in it, to become notable because of a federal election. As always, no prejudice against recreation on or after October 20 if he wins, but neither the sourcing nor the substance here constitutes reasons why he would already be eligible for a Wikipedia article today.

 * Delete Non-notable mayor and future federal candidate do not meet WP:NPOL. Use of Wikipedia as free election advertising would violate WP:PROMO. Bkissin (talk) 20:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
