People do not get Wikipedia articles for standing as candidates in elections they didn't win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one — but this neither establishes preexisting notability for other reasons besides a candidacy, nor demonstrates any credible reason why his unsuccessful candidacy should be seen as a special case of markedly greater notability than everybody else's unsuccessful candidacies.
