Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Garcia (professor)
Non-winning candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he already qualified for an article for some other reason ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the election, not just be a candidate in it, to stake notability on the election itself. But this is referenced ''entirely'' to campaign coverage, with ''no'' evidence that he had preexisting notability for anything else — but campaign coverage is purely |routine, because ''every'' candidate for ''any'' office could ''always'' show some of that, so it does not add up to passing  unless it explodes to Christine O'Donnell proportions. And no, winning a ''primary'' does not constitute "winning an election" for our purposes, because that still just makes him a ''candidate'' and not an ''officeholder'' — and the fact that he's once again a candidate in a ''future'' election primary does not augment notability either
