WP:BLP, parked on a single source, of a politician whose only claim of notability is that he won a party primary to become a general election candidate for mayor. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself -- if you cannot show and properly source that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason independent of his candidacy, then he does not become notable enough for an article until he wins the election. And for that matter, even if he does win the general election he would still have to be sourced well enough to clear the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our inclusion standards for local politicians -- at 66K, the city isn't large enough to hand him an automatic notability freebie just for existing if the sourcing isn't getting him past WP:GNG.

  • Delete as per nom; but with no bias against re-creation if he wins the general election. Power~enwiki ( talk) 21:01, 18 May 2017 (UTC) reply
