Deletion of Daniel Cameron (lawyer)

Comment: This just about as clear cut as it gets. As NatGertler noted above, this obviously fails . This article was created shortly after Cameron received the nomination as part of the campaign, and it reads as such

Comment: I think there are enough good sources to say that Cameron easily clears . He's had coverage in https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2019/jul/29/trump-news-today-live-baltimore-elijah-cummings-al-sharpton-racism-tweets-latest-updates The Guardian (misspelled, of course), the https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/may/21/polls-close-for-primary-election-in-eastern-half-o/ Washington Times, the https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2019/07/30/us/ap-us-trump-kentucky-ags-campaign.html New York Times, the https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/paloma/the-trailer/2019/05/23/the-trailer-democrats-look-past-2020/5ce546b0a7a0a46b92a3fd75/ Washington Post.

Comment: People do not get articles just for being candidates in elections they have not won — a person has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the office to qualify for a Wikipedia article, not just be a candidate. But this makes absolutely no credible case that he had preexisting notability for other reasons, and the sourcing isn't getting him over  in ''lieu'' of having to pass NPOL either: it's based 2/3 on |primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and the only references that are reliable sources are the purely  pieces of campaign coverage that ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election can ''always'' show, not evidence that he's somehow a special case of significantly greater notability than most other unelected candidates. Wikipedia is not a free repository of campaign brochures for aspiring officeholders: we keep articles about people who ''hold'' notable political offices, not everybody who ever ran for one

Comment: per , "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability"... and the coverage we have ("he's running for office", "he has an endorsement") is basically the rote for an unelected candidate

Comment: per , , and as the probable leader in the race; this should not be construed as an endorsement of his candidacy
