Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Troy Stanley
with no objection to the creation of a redirect afterward (but delete this first, because we don't want to hold on to its edit history.) Non-winning candidates for Congress do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — he would have to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the office, not just run and lose, to pass  as a politician, and absent that he has to be able to demonstrate that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him a Wikipedia article anyway. But the quality of sourcing here is ''not'' suggesting that he's got a plausible claim to passing our notability standards for businesspeople as a hot dog stand operator, either
