Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dale Kerns
An as yet unelected candidate in a future election does not get a Wikipedia article just for the fact of being a candidate, in and of itself — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he ''already'' got over a Wikipedia inclusion criterion for some other reason ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to attain notability ''from'' the election itself. No prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins, but this article neither states nor sources ''anything'' that gets him an article ''today''. Also there's a direct |conflict of interest here, as the creator's Wikipedia username corresponds directly to the first initial and surname of a person whose Twitter account identifies him as an intern in Kerns' campaign office
