 * Delete Non-notable congressional candidate Power~enwiki (talk) 07:30, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I created this page because he is a big time player in Midwest politics regarding Israel and foreign policy and also because it had long been discussed that he was running for Congress. He is officially running now, and being a main candidate in one of the most competitive races in the country certainly warrants notability. This is not just any candidate in any race, it's one that's always targeted nationwide and has millions upon millions funded into it, and is always a nationwide target. Although I think his notability was established prior to running (although I certainly understand why others may not see it the same way) I think it's clear that now his notability is without question. Also with the fact that the Republican candidate has won in the midterm election in this district every time for the last thirty years or so, his legitimacy is certainly there, especially per the ABC coverage.

 * Delete. Wikipedia does not accept candidates for office as automatically notable just for being candidates in and of itself — regardless of how "competitive" the race is perceived to be, we do not base our inclusion criteria on predictions of future accomplishment. Rather, if you cannot show and properly source that the candidate was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of his candidacy, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the seat. But this is not demonstrating any preexisting notability, and is based on a mix of primary sources and the purely WP:ROUTINE volume of campaign coverage that would simply be expected to exist for all candidates in all elections — so the volume and depth of coverage is not approaching what it would take to deem his candidacy special for any reason. (The standard for that is Christine O'Donnell, where the coverage exploded so far out of proportion to the routinely expected that her article is actually longer and cites more sources than the article about the guy she lost to does.) No prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins, but nothing here gets him a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 13:24, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
