Comment: As the article stands, does not meet .  Possibility of future notability is not enough for inclusion.  Best to stick with the policy guidelines on this one.  If there are other reasons for notability (other achievements as a politician or social activist), then they should be reflected in the article, but they're not there now and they don't seem so easy to find

Comment: per . I do not see notability apart from his candidacy. Creating hundreds of candidate articles before the election and deleting the unsuccessful ones after it, as suggested above, does not seem to me a sensible plan

Comment: Change to permit redirect, as I've read the discussion below. I don't think, given the nature of parliamentary elections in the UK (where vote is much more on lines of party than on the merits of the individual candidate) that a major-party candidate is necessarily notable, but a redirect would serve the purpose well, while letting us |preserve material in case he's elected

He's mentioned in a number of articles, but I haven't seen anything that qualifies as significant coverage. For example, one article had about two paragraphs with his opinion on an issue affecting the local council. Accordingly, I don't see where he passes GNG; he is not ''currently'' notable. That said, while notability is not temporary, the lack of reliable sources could be. If he is written about extensively in the course of the election, he could then qualify as notability. Of course, if he wins the election, he automatically qualifies under . However, I don't see anything that shows that he's notable yet
