Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Michels
The subject of the article, Tim Michels received significant press coverage in 2004 when he was the Republican nominee for Senate. Wikipedia is intended to be a historic encyclopedia, not merely a website for current events.  Just because Michels is not receiving significant coverage now, because he is not currently a candidate does not mean that the article does not pass .  The article does clearly pass  because the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article, even though that coverage may not be recent
