Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Maes
People do not get articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win; rather, to make him eligible for an article, it would be necessary to demonstrate that he was notable for ''more'' than just being a losing candidate, such as having already had preexisting notability for other reasons (e.g. as a person who had already been a member of the state legislature or Congress, or a mayor of one of Colorado's major cities, or a notable actor or writer or athlete) — and since every candidate in every election always gets some campaign coverage in that context, such coverage does not automatically grant candidates a GNG-based exemption from having to pass NPOL. The election-specific content can be addressed in the election article itself — but there's no evidence that he has the |lasting significance as an individual that would be needed to warrant his own standalone  as a separate topic from the election as a whole
