Deletion of Ahmad Rafah

Comment: A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a ''candidate'' for a city council seat — and Santa Clara isn't a large enough city to confer notability on its city councillors even if he had ''won'' the seat (which he evidently did not.) But there's really just not much here on which to hang a "preexisting notability for other things" claim — "policy advisor to a US Representative" is not an automatic inclusion freebie either, and there's really very little substantive coverage of him besides purely local and  coverage of the election campaign itself. So there's simply no strong evidence that he would pass  for any other reason. As always, Wikipedia is not a free webhost for political hopefuls' campaign brochures
