no notability shown apart from his candidacy. I do not agree that the GNG trumps . If that were so, POLITICIAN would be a dead letter, because every political candidate can show press cuttings ''based on his candidacy.'' If you read the  in full, you will see that it says that sufficient coverage means a subject is ''presumed'' to satisfy the inclusion criteria, and a bullet point below says that this is "''a presumption, not a guarantee, that a subject is suitable for inclusion. Editors may reach a consensus that although a topic meets this criterion, it is not appropriate for a standalone article.''" I say that  constitutes such a consensus that, in order to prevent Wikipedia being used as an election soapbox, references concerned with a political candidacy do not constitute notability
