Deletion of Nick Leibham

Comment: The  guidelines for politicians do not mandate that the article address a sitting legislator as Collectonian asserts; in fact, they expressely allow for articles pertaining to "candidates for political office"  so long as they meet the notability criterion of ""significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Let's parse out the criterion as it applies to this article

Comment: per  and  to United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2008#District 50, merging at editor's discretion.  attention comes from running for office. If there's enough material to create a separate 50th district race article, we can merge it there

Comment: In terms of notability, I think this person fails on many levels.  I started with Time, Newsweek, U.S. News, and NY Times and found no results in searches on Nick Leibham.  Then surprisingly for a California candidate, I found nothing in a SF Chronicle search.  At the current stage of his political career, he is |non-notable.  Should he lose in an uneventful contest, he would remain so.  Thus, unless the campaign becomes controversial or this person wins, I would suggest moving this information to a section of a larger article.  The information was created by a less experienced WPian and probably suffers.  Solving COI and POV issues would still leave us with an article that has some problems.  I would not mind if this person were independently notable on the international level.  I can not find his name mentioned in anything that is considered a national publication (although I have not checked the LA Times because they only make excerpts public).  The best bet to establish notability would be if he has been involved in any notable cases as a prosecutor.  Has he ever been granted certiorari?  Has he been involved in any notable cases
