Delete Easily fails
WP:POLITICIAN and
WP:GNG. It could be
WP:TOOSOON if he were to get elected but Republicans generally don't get elected where he lives. --

As usual,
WP:NPOL dictates that unelected candidates do not qualify for articles on Wikipedia just for being candidates; if they haven't already established enough notability for other things that they already qualified for a Wikipedia article before they became candidates, then they have to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable enough. I swear to gawd I'm going to make this into a template so I don't have to keep typing it out every time a campaign manager posts their boss's campaign brochure. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins, but right now it's a big fat delete. Note also that this version is basically an exact copy of the article that was posted a few days ago at
Jon Girodes (Politician) by
User:Jon Girodes himself, and was speedied A7 within minutes — so in addition to all the other things wrong with this, add
conflict of interest to the pot too.

I figured there were some SPA/sock issues here. If anyone cares to investigate, feel free. --Kinut/c 13:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)reply
Delete - per Bearcat's reasoning above. Solely running for an office does not suffice for notability.
