Deletion of Chrys Kefalas

Comment: I have been going back and forth on this one, and I want to rethink. again.  In general, I totally agree with Bearcat's well-stated position that merely generating routine coverage while running for  office does not confer notability.  However, coverage does confer notability, and this is true no matter what triggers the coverage.  At a certain point, coverage even of certified airheads like Todd Palin tips the balance into  territory.  A new article today, http://www.washingtonlife.com/2016/02/11/power-couple-tommy-mcfly-and-chrys-kefalas/ seems to me to put Kefelas over that line

Comment: Fails  and . Not only are there too many "if"s in his claim for notability, but the claim doesn't even appear to be true. The article lead claims that "If elected, he would be the first openly gay Republican elected to Congress.3", but the reference cited does not support that claim. And there seem to have been several openly gay Republican members of congress before him, including Steve Gunderson and Jim Kolbe. And no, he wouldn't be the first gay senator either (that would be Tammy Baldwin), although he would be the first gay ''Republican'' senator. As for his likelihood of winning the election, Maryland has not elected a Republican senator since 1980

Comment: WP:TOOSOON and  apply. He is being given this coverage because "''if'' he wins, he will be..." etc. Well, ''if'' he wins, he will be notable, and we can write and article about him. I wouldn't be opposed to userfying this
