Candidates who loose the primary election for state legislature are the epitome of non-notability. In this person's case there was one incident that received flash in the pan news coverage and nothing more. This does not merit an article. We should have an article on the person who actually was elected to the state legislature in that election, but that is independent from this case where we very clearly should not have any article John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:59, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Subject of article lacks insufficient significant coverage in reliable sources & also doesn’t satisfy WP:NPOL. Celestina007 (talk) 05:53, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:GNG, WP:NPOL and there are major WP:BLP issues here. SportingFlyer T·C 07:31, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get articles just for being unsuccessful candidates in party primaries, but there's no other evidence here that he has a strong claim to either having preexisting notability for other reasons independently of the candidacy or passing the ten year test for enduring significance.

Delete Article doesn't establish what was notable about their career otherwise. Ran in election, lost, then back to oblivion. Not notable.Oaktree b (talk) 02:49, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOL....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:21, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. No significant coverage on which to base an article.--Kinu ^t/_c 05:25, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
