Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jamaal Bowman
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in political party primaries — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. And, as always, candidates also do not get a free GNG-based ''exemption'' from NPOL just because they can show a small smattering of campaign coverage, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show a smattering of campaign coverage. This article does not make or |reliably source any credible claim that he had preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and is not showing the depth or range or volume of campaign coverage it would take to get his candidacy over the |ten year test for enduring significance. Obviously no prejudice against recreation on or after November 3 if he wins the seat, since his notability claim will have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but nothing here is already grounds for a Wikipedia article to exist today. As usual, we are ''not'' a free advertising platform for aspiring future politicians to have campaign brochures
