Delete fails WP:NPOL. Non notable politician who lost an election. Election candidates are not notable. So far only WP:NOTNEWS type coverage of election in sources. No notable public office held. He lost the election and loosing does not make him notable. --DBig Xrayᗙ 06:49, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one — but this doesn't even attempt to demonstrate that he had preexisting notability for other reasons independently of the candidacy.
