Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suraj Patel (2nd nomination)
Being an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia — he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to clear . But the references here are not demonstrating that he had preexisting notability for other reasons: nine of the seventeen footnotes here are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, ''not'' coverage that's substantively ''about him''; two are  candidate-directory sources of the type that absolutely any candidate in any election could always show; he's the ''author'', not the subject, of two of them, and the ''interviewer'', not the subject, in a third (but a person gets over a notability criterion by being the ''subject'' of the sources, not the ''creator'' of them); one is his |primary source staff profile on the website of his own employer; and one is a Q&A interview with him on an unreliable |blog. There's literally just ''one'' reference here (''Punjab News Express'') that's even ''remotely'' acceptable in terms of establishing notability, and one acceptable source isn't enough all by itself
