Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aswar Rahman
People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win — notability as a politician comes from ''holding'' office, not running for it and losing or withdrawing. Some degree of local coverage of mayoral elections is simply ''expected'' to ''always'' exist, further, so such coverage does not automatically make a candidate special on "just because media coverage exists" grounds — if that were how it worked, then ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election would ''always'' be special, and NPOL would mean absolutely nothing anymore. Rather, to qualify for an article it would be necessary to properly demonstrate his preexisting notability as a ''filmmaker'' — but that's not what this does, as his work as a filmmaker is referenced entirely to |primary sources rather than notability-supporting |reliable sources
