Non-winning candidates for office do not get articles just for being candidates, but are notable enough for articles ''only'' if either (a) they already cleared a notability standard for some other reason independent of their candidacy, or (b) they can be sourced to an ''extremely'' broad degree of coverage that shows their candidacy as significantly ''more'' notable than the norm for some reason (i.e. the Christine O'Donnell scenario.) But this makes no strong claim of preexisting notability, and cites no |reliable sources at all
