Deletion of Mark Williams (Colorado politician)

Comment: per The Bushranger. Being an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election is not a notability criterion — a person has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' office to clear , not just be a candidate in it. But this shows no evidence of preexisting notability for other reasons, and the media coverage is not demonstrating any reason why his candidacy could be considered a special case: it's based ''entirely'' on the purely |run of the mill local coverage that would simply be ''expected'' to exist for ''any'' candidate in ''any'' primary. As always, no prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he ''wins'' the seat, but nothing here constitutes a reason why he would already get a Wikipedia article today
