Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Berryhill (2nd nomination)
In 2010 there was still some support (albeit ''wobbly'' support, as note the fact that the first discussion closed no consensus rather than as a clear keep) for the notion that unelected candidates in US congressional elections were notable enough for articles on that basis in and of itself. But that's since been much more cleanly discounted, so that non-winning candidates for political office are considered notable ''only'' if (a) they can be shown and properly sourced as having already cleared a notability criterion for some other reason ''before'' running as candidates, or (b) there's a  slamdunk because the campaign coverage exploded into something resembling the firestorm that swallowed Christine O'Donnell. Neither of those conditions has been satisfied here, however; the strongest claim of notability is serving on a local infrastructure board, which is not an NPOL pass, and the referencing is a mix of |primary sources, purely |routine local coverage of the type that ''any'' candidate for ''any'' office could ''always'' show, and a glancing namecheck of his existence in a source that isn't ''about'' him. This is nowhere close to what it takes to make a candidate notable because candidate
