Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elijah Manley (2nd nomination)
Wikipedia is not a free PR platform for aspiring future notables to publicize themselves, so people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates for elected office. The presidential primary was literally just a publicity stunt, as even now he's still not old enough to even be ''eligible'' to run for president — and precisely because of that limitation, the claim that he was "the youngest person ever to run for president" is entirely unverifiable and of no practical significance anyway. The fact that he's running for something again in 2020 doesn't automatically qualify him for an article now, because the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable office, not just running for one — and the fact that a handful of campaign coverage happens to exist is not in and of itself a -based ''exemption'' from having to pass NPOL either, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show a handful of campaign coverage. Obviously he'll qualify for an article in November if he ''wins'' the seat, since his notability claim will have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but nothing here is enough to already earn him an article today
