Perennial candidates who perennially ''lose'' elections are not "inherently" notable per  — the notability test at NPOL is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one. So to merit inclusion here, he would have to pass one or the other of two tests: either he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article independently of the candidacies, or he can be referenced to a depth and range of |reliable source coverage that marks him out as ''much more special'' than most other cities' local cranks and gadflies — and while the commenters above are certainly trying for those, they're missing the boat, as being a nuisance at the ''city council'' level does not satisfy the former condition, and the range of sourcing shown here is not sufficient to meet the latter. And furthermore, even if there has been a book written about him, there's no evidence that the ''book'' would meet our notability standards for books either — availability on Amazon is not, in and of itself, an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia for a book, particularly when the book we're talking about is a self-published Kindle ebook. So no, the fact that he was the subject of a non-notable writer's self-published ebook is not in and of itself a notability clincher for a person whose activities do not rise to the level of nationalized significance or nationalized attention
