Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phillip Thompson
People do not get articles just for being candidates in future elections they haven't won yet, but all of his claims to preexisting notability for other reasons are based on |primary sources rather than |reliable ones that actually support notability. Winning a "Young Australian of the Year" award, frex, does not constitute notability if your source for the information is the Australian of the Year committee's own |self-published website — the path to notability for that passes through receiving ''media'' coverage ''for'' the distinction, but none is shown here. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins the seat, but nothing here entitles him to already have an article today
