Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ken Krawchuk
Candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates per se; if you cannot demonstrate and |reliably source that they were ''already'' eligible for one ''independently'' of being a candidate, then they have to ''win'' the election, not just have their name on the ballot, to get a Wikipedia article out of it. But nothing claimed here (either in the article or in his campaign manager's spiel above) demonstrates preexisting notability, and almost exactly none of the sources being shown (either in the article or in his campaign manager's spiel above) constitute ''reliable'' source coverage about him in ''media''. Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for unelected candidates' campaign brochures — we keep articles about ''holders'' of notable political offices, not non-winning candidates for them. (And just for the record, don't even ''try'' to respond to that statement with the "but Hillary Clinton lost and she still has an article" argument, the way some people do; she may have lost the ''presidential'' race, but she ''did'' hold notable offices ''prior'' to running for president and already had an article on ''those'' grounds ''before'' she had even ''entered'' a presidential primary, so she's not a comparable situation
