Deletion of Ammar Campa-Najjar (2nd nomination)

Comment: Getting articles published in The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Washington Post is something that most people cannot claim, and so it is wrong  to say it is "no help with notability." Moreover, Campa has at least four pieces of independent media coverage dating two years before he announced his candidacy. See my recent additions and references below. All of this independent media coverage combined - both from before his campaign started and after it - mean that Campa meets

Comment: As I've had to point out far more often than usual this year given how unusually passionate people are for a midterm year, the fact that some coverage of the candidate exists in a campaign-specific context is not in and of itself a  pass for a person notable ''only'' as an election candidate — ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''always'' gets some campaign-specific coverage, so if "some campaign coverage exists" were all it took to get a candidate over GNG then ''every'' candidate would ''always'' get over GNG, and our established consensus that candidates are ''not'' automatically notable just for being candidates would be inherently unenforceable because ''every'' candidate could ''always'' claim that same exemption from having to pass NPOL. So making a candidate notable enough for an article on the grounds of the candidacy itself does not just require "show that campaign coverage exists" — it requires "show that ''so much'' campaign coverage exists that he's got a credible claim to being a ''special'' case ''over and above'' most other candidates." But that's not what's being shown here, and neither does the article make any credible case that he would already have been deemed notable for other reasons prior to the candidacy. So it can be recreated if he wins the seat in November, but nothing here is enough to make him already eligible for inclusion today. I will grant that this isn't ''immediately'' redirectable on the grounds of the first discussion alone, as the notability claim has changed from "candidate in the primary" to "candidate who won the primary and is going into the general election accordingly" — but the inclusion test for politicians is winning the ''general'' election, ''not'' just the primary, so that change still isn't enough
