- A non-winning candidate for office does not qualify for a Wikipedia article on the basis of the candidacy itself — if they didn't win the election and thereby hold a notable office, then the only other path to a Wikipedia article is to demonstrate and source that they qualify for some other reason (e.g. holding a different notable office, or having preexisting notability in a different field of endeavour.) But no claim has been demonstrated, or even attempted, here — this is resting entirely on the failed candidacies themselves. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 14:24, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
