Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Robb
without prejudice against recreation of a redirect (but delete first, so that there's nothing for people who like to ignore consensus to revert.) As always, people do ''not'' get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful candidates in political party primaries per se — unsuccessful political candidates get articles ''only'' if they can either (a) demonstrate that they already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article anyway (e.g. Cynthia Nixon), or (b) show such an unusual depth and range and volume of |reliable source coverage that they can credibly claim to be ''much more special'' than other non-winning candidates (e.g. Christine O'Donnell). But 10 of the 16 footnotes here are |primary sources that are not support for notability at all — and virtually right across the board, the few sources that actually represent real media coverage are not ''about him'', but just glancingly namecheck his existence in coverage of the primary as a whole. There's only one source here that's actually about Sam Robb for the purposes of counting for anything toward GNG, but one source is not enough to ''pass'' GNG all by itself
