Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rocky De La Fuente
The subject is a candidate seeking the Democratic nomination in the United States presidential election, 2016. While he is not one of the major candidates who gets listed in polls and invited to debates, Wikipedia does not exclude minor candidates from coverage if they meet the |general notability guideline. Not only did De La Fuente receive local news coverage in his hometown when he declared his candidacy (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/oct/05/roque-de-fuente-president-democrat-trump-clinton/, http://fox5sandiego.com/2015/11/02/san-diego-businessman-rocky-de-la-fuente-has-eyes-set-on-the-white-house/, http://www.nbcsandiego.com/on-air/as-seen-on/Gene4P1016_San-Diego-333393201.html), but he has received coverage in additional states where he has qualified for the primary ballots already or is campaigning (http://woodtv.com/2015/12/17/candidate-makes-mi-democrat-primary-by-petition/, http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2015/12/16/car-dealer-aims-modern-first-mich-dem-primary/77462170/, http://hola-arkansas.com/hispanic-to-runs-for-presidential-primary-in-arkansas/, http://www.kcci.com/politics/man-moves-to-iowa-to-run-for-president-new-neighbors-not-happy/37068438). In any event, I was not aware that trade publications are excluded from being reliable sources, and I don't think they should be excluded
