Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Paulson
When it comes to , we have to evaluate this under criterion #2 — "local political figures" — but at that level of office, the difference between a keep and a delete is not "holds office ergo automatic pass", but hinges on the depth and quality of |reliable sourcing that can be shown ''about'' their holding of the office. But none of the sourcing here is adequate, and merely being a ''candidate'' for a statewide position, where the election is still 1.5 years away so the ''primaries'' haven't even happened yet, is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself either. No prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins the statewide Commissioner of Agriculture election, but nothing here is enough today
