yes failed politician bio but passes the |general notability guideline. As a reminder, the politician rule says |Just being ... an unelected candidate ... does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article" and Jacob easily passes with in-depth coverage https://www.dailyrecord.com/story/news/2016/05/30/jacob-pursuing-american-dream-straight-congress/85033046/ here and http://www.indiawest.com/news/global_indian/peter-jacob-hoping-to-win-new-jersey-congressional-seat-with/article_d22f273a-12f7-11e6-8637-a386b887d48d.html here and https://www.insidernj.com/jacob-nabs-justice-democrats-nomination-crowded-cd7-democratic-field/ here and http://observer.com/2017/06/peter-jacob-leonard-lance-2018-midterms/ here and https://www.cbsnews.com/news/swastikas-reported-outside-home-of-peter-jacob-new-jersey-congressional-candidate/ here and http://www.nj.com/union/index.ssf/2016/10/congressional_candidates_square_off_on_business_th.html here and elsewhere. The nominator's argument that ''All of the coverage surrounding him is about his campaigns and he doesn't therefore meet '' is bogus -- it would be like saying that all of the coverage about Henry Ford was about his automobile business, therefore it doesn't count and he doesn't meet the GNG. Politicians get covered about politics; business people about business. Both Ford and Jacob are notable
