Deletion of Brian Forde

Comment: Doesn't meet , but seems to meet  (e.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-08/bitcoin-s-candidate-for-congress 1, http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/06/science-candidates-high-tech-smarts-aren-t-enough-defeated-obama-aide 2, ...). Should be |cleaned up, though

Comment: Serving as a senior advisor in the White House could get him an article if he could be |reliably sourced well enough to clear  for it, but this is ''extremely'' dependent on primary and unreliable sources (content published by his own employers, YouTube and Vimeo videos, sources where he's the bylined ''author'' of the content rather than its ''subject'', etc.) rather than reliable source media coverage about him — and even the sources which are real media mostly aren't ''about'' him, but just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of being primarily about something or someone else. And no, campaign-specific coverage does not magically GNG a non-winning candidate for political office either, as every candidate in every election can always show some of that — if "some campaign coverage exists" were in and of itself enough to exempt a candidate from NPOL on the grounds that they'd passed GNG instead, then ''every'' candidate would ''always'' get that exemption and NPOL would literally mean nothing anymore. So no, none of the sourcing here is solid enough to make him notable: the key to making a candidate notable enough for an article is to show that either (a) he already had preexisting notability for other reasons ''besides'' being a candidate per se, or (b) he got so much ''more'' coverage than other unsuccessful candidates ''also'' got that he's got a credible claim to his candidacy being a ''special case'' — but neither of those things are in evidence here at all, and the simple existence of ''some'' campaign coverage is not enough in and of itself

Comment: promotional campaign article. Fails  and the coverage of him is simply because he ran for office, and I don't see anything non- in the article itself
