Deletion of Rob Miller (South Carolina politician) (2nd nomination)

Comment: Does not fail  because he passes the GNG. Specifically, he has won a Democratic nomination ''twice'', so , the philosopical underpinning of the  discounting of winning a single primary, does not apply. Special:Contributions/141.156.160.217|141.156.160.217

Comment: to United States House of Representatives elections in South Carolina, 2010#District 2. There is some significant newspaper coverage, but virtually all of it is primarily about his opponsent Joe Wilson - with Miller piggybacking onto Wilson's notoriety. Contrary to some statements made here, major party candidates for congress are NOT automatically notable - not if they have never held office or otherwise achieved notability, and not if the only coverage is about the election rather than about them. See : "Just being an elected local official, '''or an unelected candidate for political office,''' does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".... In the case of candidates for political office who do not meet this guideline, the general rule is to redirect to an appropriate page covering the election or political office sought in lieu of deletion." See also ommon outcomes#People: "Candidates for a national legislature/parliament or other national office '''are not viewed as having inherent notability'''." It could be argued that Miller has received significant coverage and thus rates a "keep", but he definitely does NOT rate an article simply for being a major party candidate for congress. Such articles get deleted here all the time

Comment: Reading the above, it sounds like this specific race is a distinctly notable event, more than this guy is a notable politician.  If this was a first-time run, then I would very strongly be arguing for delete (by way of converting the article to being about the race, with him as a sub-section) - but since it's apparently his second time around, he is perhaps 'notable' for more than a single event, and if so, should get his own article (just).
