Deletion of Nicholas Thompson (politician)

Comment: People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they have not won, but this article is not credibly demonstrating that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy. Being the first black person to be elected leader of a small, not independently notable labour union local is not an instant notability freebie in and of itself in the absence of a -satisfying volume of |reliable source coverage — but the sources here are not getting him over GNG, as half of them are |primary sources, two of the four that are real media just glancingly mention his name in the process of being fundamentally about something or someone ''else'', and the other two real media hits don't even mention his name ''at all'', and are here solely as technical verification of stray facts that have nothing whatsoever to do with getting Thompson over a notability criterion. As always, no prejudice against recreation on or after October 20 if he wins the seat, but nothing here is a reason why he would already be eligible for an article today
