Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ilya Sheyman
Speaking personally, and not as a Wikipedia editor, if I lived in Illinois' 10th Congressional District, I might consider supporting Ilya Sheyman for Congress.  Also speaking personally, the chance that I will support Buddy Roemer for President is zero.  However, speaking as a Wikipedia editor, Buddy Roemer was elected to the House of Representatives and was later elected Governor of Louisiana.  Buddy Roemer meets  and Ilya Sheyman, at this point, doesn't.  Buddy Roemer is notable by Wikipedia standards and Ilya Sheyman isn't.  Here on Wikipedia, we don't have biographies of people running for office who have never been elected to a high office, just because their campaign staffs have sent out a slew of press releases that got reprinted.  Instead, we cover such candidacies in neutral articles about the specific race.  Those articles cover all the candidates in an even-handed way.  Feel free to create an article about the race, that describes all the candidates for that office in a neutral fashion.  If you can't bring yourself to do that, then you have a |conflict of interest and shouldn't be editing anything pertaining to this race.  I wish you well
