Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Wynes
Wikipedia does not accept candidates for office as automatically notable just for being candidates in and of itself — regardless of how "competitive" the race is perceived to be, we do not base our inclusion criteria on |predictions of future accomplishment. Rather, if you cannot show and properly source that the candidate was ''already'' notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some other reason ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he does not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until he ''wins'' the seat. But this is not demonstrating any preexisting notability, and is based on a mix of |primary sources and the purely  volume of campaign coverage that would simply be ''expected'' to exist for ''all'' candidates in ''all'' elections — so the volume and depth of coverage is ''not'' approaching what it would take to deem his candidacy ''special'' for any reason. (The standard for that is Christine O'Donnell, where the coverage exploded ''so'' far out of proportion to the routinely expected that her article is actually ''longer'' and cites ''more'' sources than the article about the guy she lost to does.) No prejudice against recreation in November 2018 if he wins, but nothing here gets him a Wikipedia article today
