per Cullen. The existence of some campaign-related coverage is not in and of itself a free pass over  for an as yet unelected candidate who doesn't already have preexisting notability for other reasons — ''every'' candidate in ''every'' election ''everywhere'' can ''always'' show some evidence of campaign-related coverage, so that coverage does not establish notability in and of itself unless it ''explodes'' to a degree that marks him out as a ''special'' case over and above most other candidates. We do not exist as a promotional venue for publishing aspiring officeholders' campaign brochures — a person has to ''hold'' a notable political office, not just run for one, to be considered notable as a politician. Notability here is not measured by |temporary newsiness — it is measured by the |will people still be looking for an article about this person ten years from now test, which unelected candidates for office normally do not pass. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, since his notability equation will thus have changed, but nothing here is already enough to get him a Wikipedia article today
