Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noel Ginsburg
Candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being ''candidates'', especially when they're only candidates in a ''primary''. Wikipedia is not a free webhost for campaign brochures about political hopefuls — with extremely rare exceptions for candidates who can make a strong claim to passing GNG for the sheer depth and breadth of coverage, a person has to have ''held'' a notable political office, not merely have run for one, to get an article on the basis of their political activity. And the referencing here is based almost entirely on |primary and |unreliable sources, with the legitimate sources ''not'' being substantive or numerous enough to show preexisting notability for other reasons independent of his candidacy (which is the ''only'' other way for a candidate to get a Wikipedia article ''before'' he ''wins'' the election.) We do not preemptively create articles about people who ''might'' garner more coverage in the future — we wait until GNG has ''already'' been met before we ''start'' the article. So no prejudice against recreation in 2018 if he wins the governorship, but nothing here already gets him an article today
