A difficult one, this - so I am bringing it to AfD for consideration. Article started simply as a link to a page "Bill Russell for Congress" which may give a clue to the editor's primary intention. I tagged it as spam and the article creator removed the tag. Since then he's added (and is adding) details of a decorated US Army officer so notability may be established. However, the link to the campaign page remains and if you look at the editor's
talk page you will be led to a similar, former, campaign page [
here] for this very editor, where one of the tenets of the campaign was strengthening the armed forces. So I believe there is a huge
COI here and that WP is being used as a
soapbox.
WP:POLITICIAN does not attribute notability to unelected candidates.
