  • Delete unelected candidates are not notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 13:34, 14 January 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, but this neither demonstrates preexisting notability for other reasons independently of the candidacy nor sources a credible reason to treat his candidacy as more special than everybody else's candidacies.

  • Delete. Not a notable person
Being state president of a political party's internal org chart still is not a reason why he would get an encyclopedia article. He has to hold office in a state or national legislature before he gets to be considered automatically notable — and the only other way he gets an article any earlier than that is by being the subject of a substantial volume of press coverage to get over WP:GNG.
