He's not notable. Being a candidate for political office does not establish notability.

He is someone that people have wanted to read about, and is more notable than other candidates for office that do have wikipedia pages. Disclosure, I have volunteered on his campaign

Delete Non-notable, fails
WP:POLITICIAN. He has never held office, and at this point he doesn't even have the Republican nomination; there are two viable candidates, one of whom will be chosen in the primary on September 14. Even if he wins the nomination in September, he will need substantial independent coverage to get his own article. I suppose instead of a delete, his name could be redirected to
United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2010. --

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument, but thanks for pointing out that
Dino LaVerghetta has a Wikipedia page. He is not notable either, and I will nominate him for deletion as well. In fact LaVerghetta's article falsely claims that he is "the Republican candidate", which I will change. Those two are the only ones mentioned in the article
[1] cited at Brumberg's page; who is the third? --

I just nominated LaVerghetta for deletion. If the "other candidate" you referred to is
Reshma Saujani, I checked her out and she appears to be notable, due to multiple articles about her in the New York Times, New York Post, etc. --

Delete. Fails WP:POLITICAN. May be eligible for creation later (CRYSTAL).
