Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Loren Culp
without prejudice against recreation of a redirect. As always, people do not get articles just for standing as candidates in elections — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable office, not just running for one — but this features neither credible evidence that he has preexisting notability for reasons independent of the candidacy, nor the depth and geographic range of sources needed to make his candidacy more special than everybody else's candidacies. Being Canadian and not particularly knowledgeable about Washington state politics, I have no special insight into whether he's "likely" to win or not — obviously he'll be recreatable ''if'' he ''does'' win, since his notability claim will have changed from "candidate" to "officeholder", but he won't be entitled to an article if he loses and isn't entitled to one just because the election isn't over yet either
