Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Townend
My reading of  is that Members of Parliament are inherently notable but candidates are not. That seems reasonable otherwise we would have thousands of articles about parliamentary candidates, very few of who go on to be known outside the locality where they stood or are going to stand for office. There are exceptions of course (e.g. Screaming Lord Sutch who filled many newspaper columns!) but these are few and far between. Sam Townend seems to be just another unremarkable parliamentary candidate, I'm afraid
