and/or '''redirect'''. Firstly,  most certainly does still apply to articles about people, not just articles about events — kindly note that if you actually ''read'' it, it ''does'' explicitly provide examples that pertain to the notability of ''people'' involved ''in'' events: wedding announcements, crime logs, tabloid journalism, etc. So just because it's in the notability statement on events doesn't mean it's inapplicable just because the article's topic happens to be a person — ROUTINE ''is'' still a consideration, because his potential notability claim ''derives'' from his participation in an ''event''.Secondly, there is an established consensus that when it comes to non-winning political candidates, they are ''not'' automatically deemed to pass  just because some campaign coverage exists, because some campaign coverage ''always'' exists for ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election — so if "some campaign coverage exists" were all it took to get a candidate over GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL, then NPOL would be worthless because nobody would ever actually have to pass it at all anymore. Rather, getting a candidate over GNG requires one of two things: either evidence that they ''already'' cleared GNG for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article ''anyway'', such as preexisting notability in another field of endeavour, or they got so much ''more'' coverage than every other candidate also got that they've got credible grounds to be deemed ''special'' (e.g. because their coverage ''nationalizes'' well ''beyond'' where it would simply be ''expected'' to exist.) But neither of those things are in evidence here at all: there's no credible evidence that he would have already gotten over a notability standard for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and there's not nearly enough campaign coverage being shown to deem him more special than every other candidate who got the same amount of local coverage as this
