Hans Fries (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biography of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for political office. While there was once a time when unsuccessful candidates in leadership conventions were accepted as notable on the grounds that they added valuable context to the convention coverage, that's no longer accepted as a claim of notability in its own right if you can't get him over any other inclusion criterion besides that fact alone — but nothing else here does that, and with just one incomplete citation for sourcing he doesn't get a WP:GNG pass either.
