WP:NPOL. Non notable politician who lost an election. So far only minor election related coverage in sources. No notable public office held. --DBigXrayᗙ06:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — a person has to hold a notable office, not just run for one, to be notable as a politician. But this makes no credible claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independent of the candidacy itself, and is referenced entirely to raw tables of vote totals rather than any evidence of
reliable source coverage about him.
