 * Redirect to Texas gubernatorial election, 2018. What is mentioned in the sources other than "he's running" doesn't justify a standalone article. -- Kinu  t/c 06:49, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and then create a redirect to the election per Kinu. Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — and as of today, he's still only a candidate in a party primary, which is even less of a notability claim. At the gubernatorial level, the election campaign frequently does generate more and wider coverage than assembly races do, so he may have a valid claim to passing WP:GNG next year if he wins the primary and becomes the Democratic candidate in the general — but even that wouldn't guarantee him an article in and of itself if it couldn't be substantively written and sourced — but nothing here as of right now already entitles him to have an article today.

 * Delete per Bearcat and Kinu. If he wins the primary, we can perhaps reopen the page. MAINEiac4434 (talk) 03:55, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
