Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rand Knight
A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being an unsuccessful candidate in a party primary — if you cannot demonstrate and |properly source that he would already have qualified for an article for other reasons independent of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the ''general'' election, thereby becoming an actual ''holder'' of office and not just a candidate for one, to earn a Wikipedia article on the basis of his participation in an election per se. But this doesn't show any evidence of preexisting notability — there isn't even any ''content'' here ''at all'' about ''anything'' he did between graduating high school and running in a primary, let alone any evidence that he would have earned a ''Wikipedia'' article for any of whatever that was. (Also determinative is the conflict between "he lives with his wife" in the body text and "spouse = single" in the infobox — not that marital status constitutes evidence of notability or lack thereof ''per se'', but lack of notability ''is'' demonstrated by the lack of ability to |reliably source which of those two statements is correct and which is wrong
