Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win, notability is not inherited so having a famous uncle doesn't boost him at all, there's no other claim here that he had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of a candidacy, and there's not nearly enough substance or reliable sourcing to suggest a reason why his candidacy should be deemed more special than other people's candidacies.

Delete - Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Notable uncle, but notability is not inherited, and even if it was that connection would be a bit of a stretch BilledMammal (talk) 01:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
