WP:BLP of a person whose only stated claim of notability is running for political office and losing. As always, this is not a claim of notability that passes WP:NPOL -- a person has to hold office, not just run for it, to be considered notable as a politician, but this makes no other claim that he had preexisting notability for any other reason. And for referencing, this is based entirely on primary and routine sources except for one brief biographical blurb in an omnibus compilation of biographical blurbs for all of the candidates in the election he lost (none of whom but the winner have articles either) -- so there's no evidence of enough substantive reliable source coverage about him to pass WP:GNG in lieu.
