This is a candidate for election that fails WP:N is poorly referenced and seems to be more of an electioneering advert? Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 14:15, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates; if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim 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 a Wikipedia article until he wins the seat. But there's no credible evidence of preexisting notability here, because the content and sourcing here is entirely about his campaign itself — and that's a WP:ROUTINE type of coverage that all candidates for election always get. No prejudice against recreation on or after November 8 if he wins, but nothing here gets him an article today. Bearcat (talk) 15:23, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
