WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor and as yet non-winning candidate for political office. As always, these are not notability claims that pass WP:NPOL: a city councillor has to serve in an international global city, which Winnipeg is not, to be deemed notable for being a city councillor, and a federal election candidate has to win the seat, not just run for it and lose, to be deemed notable for his efforts in federal politics, but this is not referenced to anything like the depth or range or volume of reliable source coverage it would take to make him a special case. Three of the four references are primary sources that do not count as support for notability at all -- and the only one that is a reliable source is just the purely routine "party selects candidate" piece that every party's candidate in every election always gets in the local media, so it is not enough coverage to make him special all by itself. As always, no prejudice against recreation on or after October 20 if he wins the federal seat -- but nothing here is a reason why he would already be eligible to have an article today. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free platform for candidates' campaign brochures. Bearcat (talk) 19:41, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
