This is definitely a borderline case. He fails WP:POLITICIAN, and his notability is largely WP:INHERITED. He may pass WP:GNG, since there are multiple sources with in-depth coverage of his congressional run. But that may also mean he's notable primarily for one event. If he continues his political career, he should meet our notability standards. If he sticks to his career as a schoolteacher, he probably won't. So what do we do in the meantime?

 * Redirect to South Carolina’s 2013 special election is/should be the proper outcome when there is uncertainty about a future political career or for losing Congressional candidates. Enos733 (talk) 01:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to South Carolina's 1st congressional district special election, 2013. Perhaps it is too soon for the subject to have a stand alone article, but the reasoning of BDD appears to be sound. The subject has received significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources, and therefore clearly meets WP:GNG and/or WP:ANYBIO; however, that coverage is all surrounding a single event which is the subject of the article South Carolina's 1st congressional district special election, 2013 and thus falls under WP:BLP1E. As such per WP:POLOUTCOMES a redirect to that event is in order. If the subject of this AfD becomes involved in other races for national office in the future and receive significant coverage for those races, than a standalone article can be revived from the redirect that this AfD it presently appears this AfD will create. As noted by BDD the subject isn't basing his notability based on his notable father; although WP:NOTINHERITED does apply, there is sufficient significant coverage of the individual himself that it is not really a concern IMHO. When the redirect is created may I suggest Template:R with possibilities be used.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:03, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
