The article subject does not meet WP:NPOL criteria as they have not won their respective race. Looking at the article, all of the sources cited seem to be routine mentions in the press (3/4 are about the subject announcing their candidacy) - none put forward any claim to encyclopedic notability for the subject. Should Amemiya win the topic can be revisited, but for now it is WP:TOOSOON. SamHolt6 (talk) 13:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get articles just for running as candidates in future elections that have not been held yet — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. And no, non-winning candidates do not clear WP:GNG just because you can show a blip of "candidate announces candidacy" in his local media, because every candidate in every election everywhere can always show that — to actually clear the notability bar, he would have to show that either he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia anyway, or that his candidacy is so much more special than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. But neither of those things are on offer here. No prejudice against recreation on or after November 3 if he wins the election, but nothing here is already grounds for a Wikipedia article today.
