This is an article for a person who is a candidate for office but otherwise lacks notability. WP:POLITICIAN criteria #3 addresses this point specifically, that just being a nominee does not automatically confer notability. This article also fails the general notability guidelines, as sources are to the personal campaign site, his ministry's website, and generic data listings in the NYTimes, Cook Political, and CQ Politics, plus a single story in a local news affiliate. I will also note that the Times forecasts a near 60-point margin for this race. Per the further explanation at WP:POLITICIAN on what to do with non-notables, a merger to the appropriate district page is a viable option to deletion. Tarc ( talk) 13:16, 26 October 2010 (UTC) reply
