As always, unelected candidates in forthcoming elections 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 before becoming a candidate, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he wins the election. But being mayor of a town of 7K is not enough to demonstrate that he was already eligible for an article, either. Delete, without prejudice against recreation on October 19 if he wins.

Delete, subjects claim of notability as an unelected federal candidate and the mayor of a small town is not enough to warrant an article at this point in time. If he's elected on October 19, then like all other elected MPs, he would meet notability requirements and an article can be re-added at that time. Cmr08 (talk) 00:12, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
