Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Ellmore (3rd nomination)
I agree with the nominator that a candidate will get coverage running for a political office, but the coverage itself does not make the candidate notable. The subject technically meets qualification through , but because the subject is a politician it only makes since to follow the more specific criteria of . The subject ran in a general election once and lost in a landslide in a heavily democratic district. There is nothing else notable about the subject other than loosing elections. There are hundreds of failed candidates for political office every two years and simply loosing an election, as the subject has twice, does not meet notability guidelines. As such, this article has no place on Wikipedia
