Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin O'Donnell
As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won — but there's no other basis for notability here. Notability as a writer doesn't wash, because his book is metareferenced to itself rather than being sourced to the |reliable source media coverage ''about'' it that would be necessary to deem him notable per  — and he can't credibly claim to be a special case whose candidacy is markedly more notable than most other people's candidacies, as the referencing here consists overwhelmingly of |primary sources that do nothing to support notability at all and/or glancing namechecks of his existence in media coverage of other things, not the reliable source media coverage ''about him'' that it takes to clear GNG
