Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Demetries A. Grimes
a redirect would also be acceptable, but we need to delete this page first and then recreate as a redirect from the redlink if desired, because we do ''not'' want to hold this blatantly |advertorial and improperly formatted mess in the edit history. As always, candidates do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — he has to ''win'' the election and thereby ''hold'' the office to become notable as a politician, and otherwise qualifies to have an article only if he can demonstrate preexisting notability for other reasons. But while this makes ''claims'' of preexisting notability under , it ''fails'' to |reference them properly — and even if he can be properly referenced over NMILITARY and/or wins the election in November, the article ''still'' won't get to look or sound like ''this''. So no prejudice against recreation in November if he wins the seat, and/or if a ''proper'' encyclopedia article, written in a |neutral tone and properly sourcing his notability as a military man, can be recreated — but this as written is so utterly unacceptable that even if the latter condition holds true it still requires the |blow it up and start over treatment
