Deletion of Jeff Burningham

Comment: per , , and . Far too soon- months even before the primary. There are several candidates every four years, many of which end up being "also-rans". We rarely keep first-time candidates, even for state-wide office. If and when he becomes the nominee, then we can think about it

Comment: People do not automatically qualify for Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future political primaries — the notability test under  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. But nothing here demonstrates that he has any preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy, and the referencing is not demonstrating a credible reason why his candidacy could be considered more notable than most other candidacies. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November 2020 if he wins the gubernatorial election, but nothing here is grounds for him to already have an article today. As always, Wikipedia is ''not'' a free public relations platform for aspiring politicians' campaign brochures: we keep articles about people who have ''held'' notable political offices, not about everybody who ever ran for one
