Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joel Lieske
He clearly fails  unless/until he wins an election so to me the more interesting question is whether he's notable in some other way, most likely . If he were, the article would need to be rewritten to focus on what he's actually notable for, but might be saved from outright deletion. However, his institution is not highly ranked (#250 in the US in political science from the searches I did), he has no major national or international awards, and his publications are not highly cited enough to convince me of a pass of #C1. ("Regional subcultures of the United States" has 154 citations in Google scholar but the rest are all below 100 and his h-index is only 9
