Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Campbell (Maryland politician)
Every candidate in every election can always show some degree of campaign coverage, so the existence of some campaign coverage does not automatically translate into a  pass that exempts an unelected political candidate from having to pass . To deem a candidate notable without winning election to and thereby holding a notable NPOL-passing office first, we would need either (a) evidence that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons ''independent'' of his candidacies, or (b) evidence that his campaign coverage had exploded so far ''beyond'' the ordinary and routine and expected that he had a credible claim to his candidacy being a ''special case'' over and above everybody else's candidacies (e.g. Christine O'Donnell, who got ''so'' stanking much national and international coverage for having to deny that she was a witch that her article is actually three times as long and three times as |reliably sourced as the article about the actual senator she lost to is.) But neither of those things are being shown here at all
