Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Sebamala
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in future elections they have not yet won — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no claim that he has preexisting notability for any reason that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy, and cites not even remotely close to enough campaign coverage to make his candidacy more nationally special than everybody else's candidacies. Obviously no prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins the seat, but nothing here is a reason why he would already qualify to have a Wikipedia article today. Once again, with feeling: Wikipedia is ''not'' a free public relations database for aspiring politicians to advertise or promote their campaigns
