 * Delete unelected candidates are not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:38, 14 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable. (But as an aside, it is not correct to say that "unelected candidates are not notable"; they csn be and there are numerous examples of such in Wikipdedia. But if the only claim to fame is that they are unelected candidates..... ) Emeraude (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unelected candidate whose only "claim to fame" is being a candidate. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 15:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while an unsuccessful candidate must either (a) already have been notable enough for a Wikipedia article for other reasons independent of the candidacy, or (b) be referenceable to such an unusual depth and volume of reliable source coverage, far beyond what every candidate in every election always gets, that he's got a credible claim to being much more special than the norm. This article, however, is showing neither of those things. Bearcat (talk) 15:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MILL, WP:NPOL, and WP:SNOW. Also fails my own standards for lawyers. Bearian (talk) 19:11, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
