  • Unelected candidates for office do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot demonstrate and reliably source that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason before he became a candidate, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable enough. But nothing written or sourced here suggests any reason why he would qualify under any other inclusion criterion to counter his failure to satisfy WP:NPOL. Delete.
