Deletion of Blake Moore (Utah businessman)

Comment: People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not won — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one, and people are not ''exempted'' from having to pass NPOL just because a small handful of local campaign coverage happens to exist. Some local campaign coverage ''always'' exists for ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'', so our entire concept of maintaining notability standards for politicians at all would be meaningless if every candidate could always exempt themselves from it. Rather, to be deemed a special case who warrants a Wikipedia article, the candidate has to clear one of two particular tests: either (a) he already has other claims of preexisting notability for other reasons that would ''already'' have gotten him an article ''anyway'' (i.e. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) he can be credibly claimed as ''much more special'' than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the |ten-year test for ''enduring'' significance, by virtue of his candidacy getting ''nationalized'' media attention that has already made him nationally famous (i.e. Christine O'Donnell). But neither of those things is being shown here at all, so he's not entitled to an article just for being a candidate. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, since his notability claim will thus have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but nothing here is enough to already earn him a Wikipedia article today

Comment: As an unelected politician he doesn’t pass  so we’re left with . A few mentions in his local press don’t demonstrate notability

Comment: or redirect to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah. Not notable outside of his current campaign, which itself is not of an abnormal amount of coverage. Promotional or not it doesn't meet the standard necessary for politicians or the heightened  standard in terms of coverage. Best

Comment: or alternatively redirect to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Utah. The subject is more interesting than most political candidates because of the Wendy's High School Heisman|High School Heisman award he won in 1997. However, winning the award is not notable in itself. It appears the rest of the coverage is campaign related and as Bearcat mentions, routine coverage of congressional campaigns does not meet . As an alternative to deletion, it is acceptable to create a redirect to the 2020 House election page (for Utah). No prejudice against recreation if the subject wins election

Comment: but '''move''' to Blake Moore (Utah politician). I think it ''just'' scrapes  as there are plural news sources, at least a couple of which are significant coverage. I've cleaned up a lot of the article to reflect this and to make the tone a lot more NPOV than it was. However, the content of the article is for the most part nothing to do with him being a businessman, and about his politics, so it should go there. If consensus is to keep, Blake Moore also ought to be disambig'd
