This article was previously proposed (not by me) as a db-bio speedy deletion, but the speedy was declined by stating that the article does assert the importance of the subject. I suppose that hinges on whether "was the Republican nominee for [C]ongress" constitutes an assertion of notability. It is my contention that it does not -- or, more relevantly, that even if it does constitute an assertion of notability, it is not sufficient to establish that notability.
