Deletion of Paul Nehlen

Comment: to United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Wisconsin,_2016#District_1.  A pretty clear  case, but also a plausible search term

Comment: per ; the subject is otherwise not notable. The article has a vaguely promotional tone ("His goal is to raise over $1 million "and to spend it all on communications and ground operations in swing states where Trump could use a boost") so  applies, now that the subject is a private figure again

Comment: A candidate in a party primary does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in a party primary — even if he'd ''won'' the primary, he ''still'' wouldn't automatically get an article on that basis, but would remain not eligible for one unless and until he ''won'' the general election in ''November''. We keep articles about the people who ''hold'' notable offices, not everybody who puts their name up as a ''candidate'' for one. And neither can a person claim to pass  just because he happened to be running against a nationally known figure like Paul Ryan and therefore the race got increased coverage — that coverage attests to ''Ryan's'' notability, not Nehlen's, and just makes Nehlen a . And finally, the possibility that he ''might'' attain further notability in the future is not a reason to keep the article now. If he does attain further notability in the future, we can always recreate a new article about him when that time comes — but in the meantime, we do not keep articles based on |''predictions'' about what ''might'' happen, we keep or delete articles based on what's ''already'' true ''today''. And nothing that's true today is enough

Comment: I was just getting ready to support the 'merge' option, but then I thought about the mechanics. Which article would this merge into? House Elections in Wisconsin is just a list, nobody would go there looking for this sort of information. Different aspects would be mentioned in the Trump article, the Ryan article, and the general November election article. All of these places, you would want to say just a few words, and link to more information.  doesn't fit because there are now two important events, the primary and the PAC, both with national coverage. Still voting '''Keep

Comment: Fails  and most sourcing was during the week before; minus the quick Trump boost (and again, not endorsed by him), most of the coverage was of the generic 'meet the candidate' profiles put in by newspapers the week before, followed by 'lost election terribly stories'; the ''Janesville Gazette'' struggled to get much comment from the candidate in the first place for their 'meet the candidate' profile, and then there's some digression involving a patent for something a layman doesn't care about
