Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Kearns Goodwin
Unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles because candidate — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was ''already'' notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason ''before'' becoming a candidate, then he must ''win'' the seat and thereby ''hold'' office to become eligible. And neither does a person get a Wikipedia article just for having famous parents, as notability is |not inherited. The Bronze Star, however, is ''not'' an honour that gets a person over  in and of itself — and the only other potential claim of notability here, that he's written for the media about his military service, is sourced entirely to content where he's the bylined ''author'' of the piece rather than ''independent'' third parties writing ''about'' him. So no, nothing here clears the "belongs in an encyclopedia for it" bar
