Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keith Amemiya
People do not get articles just for running as candidates in future elections that have not been held yet — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. And no, non-winning candidates do not clear  just because you can show a blip of "candidate announces candidacy" in his local media, because ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show that — to actually clear the notability bar, he would have to show that either he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him into Wikipedia anyway, or that his candidacy is so much ''more'' special than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the |ten year test for ''enduring'' significance. But neither of those things are on offer here. No prejudice against recreation on or after November 3 if he wins the election, but nothing here is already grounds for a Wikipedia article today
