Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Horace B. Griffen
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is ''holding'' a notable office, not just running for one, and to make an unelected candidate notable enough for inclusion you must demonstrate either (a) credible evidence that they had ''preexisting'' notability for other reasons ''besides'' a non-winning candidacy per se (the Cynthia Nixon test), or (b) a much greater depth and range of coverage than normal, marking their candidacies out as ''much'' more special than other people's candidacies in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance (the Christine O'Donnell test.) But being ''signed'' by a major league baseball team does not pass our notability criteria for baseball players if the person ''never'' actually ''played'' in a major league baseball ''game'', which eliminates option A, and there's no strong evidence being shown here that his candidacy itself would satisfy option B
