Candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot show and |properly source that he was ''already'' eligible for an article for some other reason ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the election, not merely run in it, to get a Wikipedia article ''because'' election per se. Serving on a ''borough'' council, however, is ''not'' grounds for notability in and of itself — a person would have to serve on the citywide London Assembly, not just the borough council of Hackney, to get a Wikipedia article just for serving in a ''local'' political office.And the sourcing here is not adequate to claim that he passes , either — there are too many |primary sources, |routine election results tables, and glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles about other things, and the number of sources which ''are'' genuinely both reliable and substantively ''about'' him is simply not high ''enough'' to pass GNG — ''every'' candidate in ''any'' election could ''always'' show the number of sources shown here, so those sources are ''not'' showing him to be ''more'' notable than the norm. Christine O'Donnell, who got flayed alive by an international media ''firestorm'', is the textbook case for how much coverage of a person's candidacy it takes to clear GNG ''because'' campaign coverage in and of itself, and this doesn't even approach a ''fraction'' of enough
