Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrew U. D. Straw (2nd nomination)
Being the founder of a minor political party could potentially get him a Wikipedia article if that were the context the sources were covering him in — but as written, this is based on a mix of |primary sources that cannot assist notability at all (his campaign committee's standard FEC filing, which doesn't assist notability since ''every'' candidate has one),  coverage in the context of unsuccessful election ''candidacies'' (and not enough of that to make him ''more'' notable than the norm on the basis of having received ''more'' coverage than every other unsuccessful candidate could always show), and some personal stuff that runs afoul of  (criminal or malpractice allegations do not get a person into Wikipedia in and of themselves if they weren't already notable enough for an article independently of that.) None of the coverage here is ''about'' his role as founder of a political party per se, so he's not entitled to an automatic inclusion freebie on that basis just because it's been claimed — and none of what the media coverage ''is'' covering him for constitutes a notability claim at all, nor is any of that coverage contextually far enough beyond the purely local to satisfy  on "just because media coverage exists" grounds
