Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dale McDowell
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being ''candidates'' in elections they didn't win — and at the ''local'' council level, even ''winning'' the election wouldn't have gotten him an automatic  pass in and of itself. For someone like this, the ''only'' way to get him into Wikipedia would be to show that he would already have qualified for an article on some other grounds ''independent'' of being a council election candidate, but nothing here shows that at all
