- Delete. People do not automatically get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates in elections — even at the presidential level, you still need to either demonstrate that he already had preexisting notability for some other reason (e.g. having already held a "lower" NPOL-passing office, such as a seat in the legislature), or source the article well enough to pass WP:GNG. This, however, demonstrates no preexisting notability at all, parts of it read more like a campaign brochure ("was described as an ambitious, competent and experienced professional") than an encyclopedia article — and the sourcing consists of one brief blurb about him and three glancing namechecks of his existence in articles that aren't about him, which is not a GNG pass.
