Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gregory Stafford (2nd nomination)
A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a ''candidate'' in an election — if you cannot show and properly source that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the seat, not just run for it, to get a Wikipedia article on the basis of the election itself. But there's no evidence of preexisting notability here, because serving on a borough council isn't an automatic free pass over  either. For both local borough councillors and as yet unelected parliamentary candidates, the path to a valid notability claim lies in being able to |reliably source them as significantly ''more'' notable than the norm for that role, not in simply being able to verify that they exist. No prejudice against recreation on or after June 8 if he wins, but nothing here gets him an article today
