Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aftab Pureval (2nd nomination)
Wikipedia's notability criteria for politicians are ''not'' determined by the number of people who happen to live in the jurisdiction that the person happens to serve, but by the ''level'' of government at which the person serves. A county clerk of courts is ''not'' handed an automatic notability freebie just because the county happens to be larger than the population of a city whose ''mayor'' has an article or a municipal council ward whose ''councillor'' has one, because it's not an equivalent role.  is not a valid argument in an AFD discussion, because sometimes that other stuff needs to be deleted too, and other times it's not actually equivalent for reasons the arguer isn't taking into account — specifically, mayors just have to be directly elected in cities of at least regional prominence, and city councillors have to serve in internationally prominent global city|global cities — but for a county clerk, the ''only'' path into Wikipedia is to get over  on the strength of ''nationalized'' coverage, expanding well ''beyond'' the purely local coverage that any county officer in any county could simply ''expect'' to routinely receive. A person also does not qualify for an article just for being an as yet unelected candidate in a future Congressional election, either — if you cannot demonstrate that he was ''already'' notable enough for a Wikipedia article for some ''other'' reason ''besides'' the candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the Congressional election and thereby ''hold'' a seat in the House of Representatives, not just be a candidate, to collect notability on that basis. So no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the Congressional seat, but ''nothing'' here, neither the sourcing nor the substance, is enough to already get him an article today. If you want to write about not yet elected candidates in the 2018 midterms, then go to Ballotpedia — helping aspiring Congresspeople publicize their campaigns is not Wikipedia's role, and it is not going to become Wikipedia's role
