for the two major party candidates for a state-wide office will always be sufficient, and we would save a great deal of trouble over the next year if we accepted this now--and for the candidates for the national legislature. (I leave it up to those who know UK politics whether in the UK it should be considered as the 3 major parties). However, we need to be very careful with these articles not to let them be turned into advertisements--his minor civic offices are not significant content whether or not he becomes governor.
305:- I don't know this guy from Adam, but a quick Google search suggests he is prominent in his field, was the chairman of a major bank, was involved in government advisory panels and is the chairman of a major regional development organization. He is quoted or referenced as "Oz Griebel" (a fairly unique name) in 436 articles, a select few of which I list here:

Tagged for speedy deletion on the basis of being overly promotional but rejected as non-speedyable following a toning down of the content - though the article still has 5 links to ozforgovernor.com and the sole remaining reference is to a candidate profile in a local newspaper.

I understand, and agree, that unelected politicians are not inherently notable. There are, however, many candidates in many races who are known only as business executives and have wikipedia pages based on this notability. Had Oz
Griebel not become a candidate for governor, I believe his wikipedia

page would still meet the standards for acceptability. I have done my best to reference reliable and impartial sources and use neutral, objective language. I will continue to work at making the page acceptable. Do you have any suggestions as to what additions would make the article more neutral?

Notability is thus easily established. A person who is already notable does not lose notability because they become a political candidate. Non-neutrality is a reason for cleanup, not a reason for deletion.
