WP:BLP of a person notable only as an unsuccessful candidate in a primary election, which is not a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NPOL — candidates who have not already held notable offices only qualify for articles on Wikipedia if you can demonstrate that they were already notable enough for other things that they already qualified for a Wikipedia article before they became candidates, but that hasn't been properly demonstrated here (even his work as a lawyer is sourced entirely to mentions of his law career in coverage of the candidacy, rather than to coverage of his law career in its own right.) Delete. (I could accept redirection to the election as well, but given that he didn't even win the primary and thus wasn't the candidate on the ballot in the general, I don't see what substantive purpose that would serve.

 * Delete. Reads like a CV and he is not notable. Kierzek (talk) 18:02, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:N and WP:POLITICIAN. I do not see evidence documenting his biographical sketch to justify a WP:GNG claim. N.B. that this may be partly due to linkrot. It is concievable that during his campaign sufficient content was in the public domain that an article may be justified. I just don't see evidence of that content now.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:59, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
