Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pete Durnell
A person does not get an article ''just'' for being an as yet unelected candidate in a future election — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he ''already'' passed a notability criterion for some reason ''independent'' of his candidacy (e.g. already having held another notable political office, or having preexisting notability in another career), then he has to ''win'' the election, not just run in it, to get an article ''because'' of his political activities per se. But this is based entirely on |primary sources, with the exception of a single piece of  coverage of his candidacy in the local newspaper. Andy Street is not an equivalent situation, as he ''is'' properly sourced as being notable for ''more'' than just a mayoral candidacy alone. Note that Wikipedia is not "the media", and is ''not'' bound by a requirement to give "equal time" to all candidates in an election — our requirement on here is to look ''past'' the daily news, and ''filter'' it for what people will or won't ''still'' be looking for |ten years from now. And for politicians, that means ''holders'' of notable offices, not unelected candidates for it
