Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Clarke (politician)
consensus has been for awhile now that merely being a candidate is not a guarantor of notability.  In fact,  even states "''Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability''".  Of course, prospective candidates ''can'' be notable for other reasons, but I don't think that being chair of a few minor Conservative organisations is going to do it in this case
