Deletion of Madison Cawthorn

Comment: to 2020_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_North_Carolina#District_11. Fails  as an unelected candidate. Also see  as to why being in a "safe seat" should not be seen as a guaranteed victory and  for differences in why some articles may be or have been kept. But largely, an unelected candidate must get a "ton" of significant international or national coverage for their race (see Christine O'Donnell), and/or are seen as an exemplar of innovative campaign tactics that may often be seen in academic work. A ''redirect'' is an appropriate and usual outcome for a candidate on the general election ballot for a seat in the national legislature. If and when the subject wins, the article can be restored

Comment: or '''redirect''' to an article on the election or district. The subject fails  and . Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of people, per those policies. All the sources for the subject cover him in the context of the election (more specifically the Republican primary), which is a single event. If he loses the election then he will not have any enduring notability whatsoever. Of course if he wins he will have enduring notability as a member of the House of Representatives, and he might become notable if he loses if he goes on to have a successful political career, but it would be pure speculation on our part to keep the article on the assumption that one of these will happen. Yes, he has got some media coverage, but that doesn't overcome this argument. Both  and  describe situations in which we don't have articles on someone who has enough media coverage to pass the GNG. I think it's significant that editors do not write articles on people whose only claim to fame is that they lost an election decades ago, it's only current candidates who people think are notable. Taking the long view we shouldn't have articles on this type of subject
