Unable to find any significant coverage in reliable sources of the subject of this BLP. This is a lawyer who had a failed attempt at being elected to the Illinois state senate. I do not believe the page meets GNG, POLITICIAN, or ANYBIO. J04n(talk page) 17:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unelected candidates for office are not eligible for articles on Wikipedia just for the mere fact of being candidates. If you cannot properly demonstrate and source that they're notable enough for inclusion under a different guideline independently of their candidacy (e.g. as a writer, as an athlete, as a holder of a different notable political office, etc.), then they have to win the election, not just run in it, to qualify for an article — the mere fact of being a candidate does not get them over WP:NPOL by itself. And for added bonus, this article is completely unsourced. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 22:25, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable (but verifiable) candidates are supposed to be redirected to the article on the election, IIRC. James500 (talk) 02:50, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
