Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neal Sales-Griffin
People do not get articles just for being non-winning candidates for political office; to qualify for an article he would need to either have preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, or be referenceable to such an unusual depth and range and volume of media coverage that he had a credible claim to being ''much more special'' than other non-winning mayoral candidates. However, there isn't nearly enough sourcing here that's covering him in the context of his business career to get him over our notability standards for businesspeople, so he hasn't passed the former test — and even the political sourcing is not strongly enough ''about him'' to get him over the latter. Candidates are ''not'' handed a -based exemption from having to pass  just because some local coverage of the election campaign exists — local coverage of ''every'' election campaign ''always'' exists, so if that were how it worked then every candidate could always exempt themselves from NPOL, and NPOL itself would be completely meaningless if nobody ever actually had to pass it anymore
