Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlos Guillermo Smith
as per Bearcat, but here's an ex cathedra editorial: "Carlos Guillermo Smith, a lobbyist for Florida's largest gay rights group, told the Herald-Tribune that the bill is..." The Gainesville Sun 24 October 2015,http://search.proquest.com/news/docview/1726372405/583C6052029C452DPQ/1?accountid=10226.  That was the first of 54 Proquest hits in pretty much all the major Florida dailies, covering his lobbying career.  I respect the heavy lifting Bearcat does in identifying the deluge of article about folks running for office, who will not be notable enough to have articles unless they win. It is possible. not likely, but posible, that there is enough on this one to justify an article.    IMO it would take  a profile in a major media source published before he began exploring candidacy, that is, it would take credible validation of pre-candidacy notability by WP standards.  It doesn't look likely to me, but if creator or someone else someone thinks they can source that, feel free to flag me
