Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan Baker
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they have not won, so neither the fact that he's currently running for mayor nor the fact that he ran in a state legislature primary in 2018 make him notable. And, for that matter, this is referenced almost entirely to |primary sources, with no evidence whatsoever of any non-trivial |reliable source coverage in real media being shown — the only newspaper citation in the entire article is just an overview of the mayoral election as a whole, not an article that demonstrates why Ethan Baker would be ''more'' notable than Dave Henderson. Troy MI is not in the very narrow range of cities that get to confer notability on their city councillors, so being an incumbent city councillor does not make him more encyclopedically notable than other mayoral candidates — and even if he ''wins'' the mayoral election, he ''still'' won't be automatically entitled to have an article just because he exists, and would qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia only if an article could be written about his political career that was much more substantive and much better sourced than this
