 * Delete. People do not automatically qualify for Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future political primaries — the notability test under WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But nothing here demonstrates that he has any preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy, and the referencing is not demonstrating a credible reason why his candidacy could be considered more notable than most other candidacies. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November 2020 if he wins the gubernatorial election, but nothing here is grounds for him to already have an article today. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for aspiring politicians' campaign brochures: we keep articles about people who have held notable political offices, not about everybody who ever ran for one.

 * Delete not every candidate for a nomination is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON, WP:MILL, and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Far too soon- months even before the primary. There are several candidates every four years, many of which end up being "also-rans". We rarely keep first-time candidates, even for state-wide office. If and when he becomes the nominee, then we can think about it. Bearian (talk) 17:31, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
