• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful mayoral candidates, or for being the inspiration for non-notable characters in non-notable novels by non-notable writers, but this features neither the depth of sourceability nor the substance to deem him a special case of significantly greater notability than most other unsuccessful mayoral candidates. By definition, local media always covers local municipal elections, so the existence of a couple of local media hits is not a free pass over GNG that exempts unsuccessful candidates from having to satisfy NPOL — if there were stronger evidence that he had enough preexisting notability for other reasons besides the mayoral campaign to be deemed notable on those grounds, then I'd be willing to reconsider this, but that's not what the substance or the sourcing here are showing.
