Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Medical doctor who was a candidate in the Philippine Senate election, 2010, but didn't win a seat. I haven't found any reliable sources covering him, but I am not familiar with sources for Filipino politics, and searches are complicated by the fact that his name is shared with the Filipino fashion designer Martin Bautista. So rather than PRODding it, I bring it to AFD in case anyone who good Filipino sources can establish notability. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete per nom. I only got one local newspaper cite which I think isn't enough to push for notability. -- Lenticel ^{( talk)} 01:00, 20 June 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete. An unelected candidate for office does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that they qualify for inclusion for some other reason independent of their candidacy, then they have to win the seat, not just run for it, to pass WP:NPOL. But no preexisting notability for anything else has been shown here at all. Bearcat ( talk) 16:10, 23 June 2016 (UTC) reply
