WP:BLP of an activist and political candidate, not
reliably sourced as passing our inclusion standards. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they have not won -- the notability test for politicians is holding office, not running for it. But this is not properly demonstrating that he has preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him a Wikipedia article independently of his candidacy -- it's written like a
résume, heavily overbolded, and referenced two-thirds to
primary sources and
YouTube videos that are not support for notability at all. And of the two sources that are actually real media, one is a very short blurb about him being appointed to a not-inherently notable position on a committee and the other is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him, so neither of those sources are getting him over
WP:GNG either.
The only reason I'm not speedying this is that it's a recent rewrite of a stub that's already been here for six years -- but just reverting the advertorialism doesn't fix the problem, because the old stub wasn't properly demonstrating or sourcing any actual notability either.
