Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rod Drobinski
Being a non-winning candidate for political office is not in and of itself grounds for a Wikipedia article — if you cannot demonstrate and |properly source that he was ''already'' notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some ''other'' reason ''besides'' his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the election to get a Wikipedia article ''because'' election per se — and campaign coverage itself does not get him over  in ''lieu'' of failing , because ''every'' candidate in ''any'' election could ''always'' show some degree of campaign coverage and thus it falls under . But this makes and sources no credible claim that Drobinski had any preexisting notability that would have gotten him an article independent of his candidacy. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if he ''wins'' a future election and becomes an actual ''officeholder'' as a result, but nothing here entitles him to an article today
