Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thierry Gourlot
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at  is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no other claim that he has any preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy (serving on a regional council falls under NPOL #2, where the notability test is "has significant press coverage" and ''not'' "is verifiable as existing"), and is referenced solely to his own party's |self-published list of its own candidates rather than any evidence that he has received enough |reliable source coverage to clear the bar for local politicians
