As always, a person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in an election, forthcoming or otherwise — if you cannot provide credible and properly sourced evidence that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before he became a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. But nothing here suggests any preexisting notability. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 19:35, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
