Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hank Hamblin
As usual, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in forthcoming elections they haven't won yet — if you cannot demonstrate and |properly source that he was ''already'' notable enough for an article for some other reason ''before'' standing as a candidate, then he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician. And, in fact, as of right now he's still only a candidate in a ''primary'' race that isn't even happening until ''August'', so he's not even the confirmed general election candidate yet either. So no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, but nothing here qualifies him to already have an article today
