Delete No matter how badly this article tries to assert it, he's not a notable political figure for an article based on evidence.

Delete. Being an unsuccessful election candidate is not an
WP:NPOL pass, but this article makes no credible claim of preexisting notability for other reasons and offers no
properly sourced evidence that his candidacy was a special notability case of significantly greater notability than most other candidacies. It's referenced 70 per cent to
primary sources (genealogies and raw tables of election results); 20 per cent to dead links where the complete citation details were never properly provided, so we can't even retrieve them to see what they ever actually did or didn't say; and one short blurb about the plane crash he died in. None of this is how you source an unsuccessful election candidate as notable enough for Wikipedia.
