Deletion of Archie Parnell

Comment: to South Carolina's 5th congressional district special election, 2017. As I wrote for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanner Ainge, the community consensus has been that being a candidate for the national legislature is not a claim to meet olitician or . The current consensus is that electoral campaigns are events and the electoral contest is notable, while the individual participants are not (unless they meet olitician or  independent of the campaign or subject to coverage that is "far" out of proportion to what is expected). For subjects running for the U.S. Congress, a redirect is appropriate to the page about the specific race in question. In this case, while a special election, is special, I do not see coverage that is out of the ordinary for this subject
