Biography of a person notable only as an unelected candidate for political office. As always, this is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and a non-winning candidate has to either (a) have preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy (i.e. holding a different notable political office, or clearing our inclusion standards in some other career), or (b) show a depth and range and volume of coverage that would mark their candidacy out as much more special than the norm. But this shows neither of those things: it states nothing about him but the unsuccessful candidacy itself, and cites no sources but a raw table of election results. In fact, I would have been tempted to speedy it for not even making a claim of notability at all, but it's somehow been flying under the radar since 2004 -- so no matter how speediable it may be in principle, I don't feel comfortable arbitrarily killing an article that's been around that long.
