Minimally sourced biography of a person whose only claim of notability is being a candidate in a future political party primary. As always, this is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself -- if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he already cleared a notability standard for some other reason independent of his candidacy, then he has to win the general election and become an actual officeholder to get a Wikipedia article for his political activities. There's no strong evidence of preexisting notability being shown here, however -- and for added bonus the article was created by "Chuckforsenate", but as always Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform for unelected candidates to post their own campaign brochures. No prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins the seat, but nothing here gets him an article today. Bearcat (talk) 15:04, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Outside of notability for politician (which he currently fails to qualify for), he would need to show notability under another guideline. Unfortunately, I am unable to find coverage which does. There is nothing in-depth outside of him running for Senate which could be used to establish notability. If anything, we could redirect to United States Senate election in Delaware, 2018. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:04, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete far too soon to be notable. If he wins the primary, he might rise to the level of notability, and if he wins the election he will, but he has not yet.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
