Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Kohl
As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not won — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one, and since ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election can ''always'' show some evidence of campaign coverage in the local media, the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a GNG-based ''exemption'' from having to fulfill NPOL. Rather, he needs to either (a) show that he was already notable enough for an article for other reasons independently of the candidacy, such that he would already have qualified for an article anyway on those other grounds, or (b) show that his candidacy received such an unusual volume of nationalized or internationalized attention that he would have a credible claim to his candidacy being ''much more special'' than everybody else's candidacies, but neither of those are on offer here.Obviously this is without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he runs again and wins, but nothing here is already enough today
