Subject of the article is not notable whatsoever, coverage seems routine for the election at the time, subject does not fulfill WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. -- Talthiel (talk)

• Delete Failed candidates for political office do not meet WP:NPOL and half of the sources cover the subject's wife rather than Magnum himself. Bkissin (talk) 16:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NPOL. No significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Prof.PMarini (talk) 14:07, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they didn't win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one — but this features neither evidence that he had preexisting notability for other reasons besides non-winning candidacies, nor evidence that his candidacies were more special than everybody else's candidacies.
