 * Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won — but there's no other basis for notability here. Notability as a writer doesn't wash, because his book is metareferenced to itself rather than being sourced to the reliable source media coverage about it that would be necessary to deem him notable per WP:AUTHOR — and he can't credibly claim to be a special case whose candidacy is markedly more notable than most other people's candidacies, as the referencing here consists overwhelmingly of primary sources that do nothing to support notability at all and/or glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage of other things, not the reliable source media coverage about him that it takes to clear GNG.

 * Delete No credible claim of notability. Merely being a candidate for office does not, except in really exceptional circumstance, meet WP:NPOL. People should know by now that articles on candidates should be created in the user space or draft space and moved to the main space if and when they get elected to office. Wikipedia is not an election forum. (WP:PROMO) Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:03, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Promotional American campaign season bio for an individual with no claim to encyclopedic notability. AusLondonder (talk) 06:17, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not satisfy political notability as a minor candidate, or general notability. Was not accepted from draft space, and does not need to be put directly into article space.  Robert McClenon (talk) 07:35, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NPOL, WP:PROMO. SportingFlyer  talk  01:42, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
