Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert John Rushford
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as election candidates — he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to clear  as a politician, and otherwise he qualifies for an article ''only'' if he can be properly demonstrated and |reliably sourced as having preexisting notability for some other reason ''besides'' the candidacy itself. But nothing else, either in the article or in the IP's misplaced talk page comment, passes a notability criterion at all. The only two properly footnoted references in the article were both  citations to other Wikipedia articles, which I've stripped because we're not allowed to do that — and the remaining "external links" are not notability-supporting references either, but |primary sources. This is not the stuff, or the sourcing, of encyclopedic notability
