Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Falinski
He's been a reasonably public figure in non-parliamentary politics for more than twenty years, including stints as president of the Young Liberals, as a key figure in Malcolm Turnbull's entry into parliament, and as a spokesperson for the Australian Republican Movement, as well as in local government, and is covered not just in mainstream press but in book sources too. He has more sources than some of our current MPs even deliberately excluding everything about his (extremely well-reported upon) preselection, and as an endorsed candidate for one of the safest Liberal seats in the country, he stands a 100% chance of being a federal MP in ten weeks. I mightn't have created it myself to avoid the chances that time would be wasted on a nomination like this, but deleting it now just to undelete it in ten weeks is a waste of everyone else's time when he'd still pass  even if he got hit by a bus tomorrow. I really despise this habit some of Australian Wikipedia has of going out of their way to nominate people for deletion specifically on the basis that they're an endorsed candidate for elected office as if it's a claim ''against'' notability: if the amount of sources on someone like this were treated like any other biography we wouldn't even be having the discussion
