Deletion of Pete Durnell

Comment: If the above delete comment is true then why is the page for Andy Street up considering he has not won either. The Local newspaper article does mention his name and poltical standing so therefore passes .  —&nbsp;Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by

Comment: A person does not get an article ''just'' for being an as yet unelected candidate in a future election — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he ''already'' passed a notability criterion for some reason ''independent'' of his candidacy (e.g. already having held another notable political office, or having preexisting notability in another career), then he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to get an article ''because'' of his political activities per se. But this is based entirely on |primary sources, with the exception of a single piece of  coverage of his candidacy in the local newspaper. Andy Street is not an equivalent situation, as he ''is'' properly sourced as being notable for ''more'' than just a mayoral candidacy alone. Note that Wikipedia is not "the media", and is ''not'' bound by a requirement to give "equal time" to all candidates in an election — our requirement on here is to look ''past'' the daily news, and ''filter'' it for what people will or won't ''still'' be looking for |ten years from now. And for politicians, that means ''holders'' of notable offices, not unelected candidates for it

Comment: Fails . There are three references: a club that apparently intends to list every political candidate in the UK, a local newspaper article that does not even mention him, and his own web site. It seems the editors aren't even trying to establish notability. There are much better sources available, but in any case he's just another local government candidate. Candidates for local government positions are not inherently notable. Create a WP article if he wins, because a UKIP Mayor of West Midlands would be notable
