WP:BLP of a person whose only stated or sourced evidence of encyclopedic notability is being a non-winning candidate for the leaderships of two political parties. This is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL, however -- if a person doesn't already have a preexisting notability claim, such as actually serving in a legislature as an MP or MLA or being an established television personality, then he has to win the leadership, not just run for it, to get a Wikipedia article for the endeavour. And the only sources present here are his own campaign website, not reliable source coverage for the purposes of getting over WP:GNG. So no prejudice against recreation in the future if he accomplishes something that would change the notability equation -- he's rumoured as a possible (but not yet confirmed) candidate in a future by-election, so actually becoming a real MP may be in his future -- but nothing here already gets him over a notability criterion today.
