obviously without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. Candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — and the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a free GNG-based exemption from NPOL, because ''every'' candidate ''always'' gets some campaign coverage. To be notable without having to hold office first, a candidate must either (a) properly demonstrate preexisting notability that would already have gotten him an article anyway, or (b) properly demonstrate a reason why his candidacy is much, much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance. But the claims of preexisting notability being made above are not "inherently" notable enough to confer instant notability freebies in the absence of GNG-worthy media coverage ''about'' that work, and there's nothing here that would suggest his candidacy is unusually important
