Fails WP:NPOL, non-notable, article filled with self-promotion and puffery Bangabandhu (talk) 23:05, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles for standing as candidates in elections they didn't win — the notability bar for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one, but this is failing to properly establish that he had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of unsuccessful candidacies. The content about his prior career is referenced almost entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him, none of which is support for notability at all.

- Delete per Bearcat. Definitely fails NPOL as someone who's candidacy never even reach a general election, let alone being elected to a significant office. Best, GPL93 (talk) 13:45, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
