Non-winning candidates for office do not clear  just for being candidates — to be notable enough for an article, he would need to be shown as either (a) having had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article ''anyway'' (i.e. Cynthia Nixon is not losing her article just because she lost when she ran for political office, because she was ''already'' notable ''as an actress''), or (b) having received so much ''more'' coverage than every candidate in every election always gets that he's got a credible claim to being a ''special case''. This clears neither of those bars: it depends far too heavily on |primary sources rather than reliable ones, and the stuff that is actually real media is mostly not about him — it comprises glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in (or the bylined author of) coverage of other things or people, or completely tangential verification of stray facts that doesn't even ''mention'' his name ''at all'' in conjunction with them. (Never mind the one source that's headlined "Meet 'Dr. Rad,' the first Democratic U.S. Senate candidate in Georgia" in our footnote, but actually leads to an article whose actual headline is "#Clusterfest: Show us your pics".) Which leaves us with just a small smattering of campaign coverage not even slightly different than what every candidate can always show, which is not how you make a candidate notable enough for an article
