Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Ashjian
I was under the impression was that past consensus was that most candidates are not notable until elected. Has this changed? Anyways, could fail  since he has not held a position and if he is a  "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" is questionable. The footnote at  says "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists." He has one in depth profile. The other stuff is more than passing coverage but it being in-depth instead of just general news should be considered. There are also valid RECENTISM and ATTACK arguments for deletion. Will this guy be something that is historically significant if he is not elected? I doubt it. An article on the election is a suitable and reccomeded place for a mention of the guy
