Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Bongino
This situation comes up frequently, and some people argue for a redirect to the election, even for the most trivial would-be candidates. I personally favor a "delete" rather than a "redirect" for an article about a would-be politician who is running in a primary and unlikely to achieve even the nomination, much less get elected. (According to the one detailed article about him, from the http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md-politics/ex-secret-service-agent-bongino-faces-uphill-fight-against-cardin/2011/09/01/gIQAQ5CD5J_story.html Washington Post, he faces an "uphill battle" for the nomination, it is "likely" that other Republicans will enter the fray, and in any case the Republican nominee is unlikely to win because Maryland has been "anything but competitive" in recent elections.) His only news coverage is related to his campaign, so he fails . And as an unelected, un-nominated wannabe politician he fails  as well
