Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Carrington
or '''redirect''' per Muboshgu. People do not get articles just for being as yet unelected candidates in party ''primaries'' — a person has to ''hold'' a notable political office, not just run for one, to clear  on his political activities. But neither smalltown city councils nor county commissions are offices that pass NPOL, there's no evidence of preexisting notability for reasons outside of politics, the article is written more like a campaign brochure than a proper encyclopedia article, and the referencing is a mixture of |primary sources and |routine coverage of his candidacy announcement, with very little evidence of |reliable source coverage about him in any context that would actually support preexisting notability at all. So no prejudice against recreation in 2018 if he wins the gubernatorial election, but nothing here right now is enough to get him an article today
