357:, as being the youngest candidate at the time is not in itself notable in a long-term (he was nearly 22, so not extraordinarily young or with a claim of being the youngest ever election candidate). There are actually a fair few hits on newspapers.com but very much run-of-the-mill reporting of him being the youngest in that election and all as a passing mention. He didn't appear to have any notable political career and if the only claim is that he nearly won a seat as a young-un, I don't think that will suffice. Someone older at the time, even slightly, would not have an article in similar circumstances.
389:- The article seems only to exist because he was the youngest candidate at the 1923 general election, but as others have made clear this does not give him the kind of notability that would merit an article. In the absence of any evidence of other claims for notability, this would seem a clear cut case.

We accept all members of legislatures as notable, because legislatures do things that are important. It is not the winning the election that makes someone notable, it is the seating in the legislature. Members of legislatures that are appointed by means other than election, but actually have
372:
functions of making laws and the like, are still notable. The coverage here is not significant, and we do not directly say "youngest x is notable", we follow significant coverage, and are not a newspaper, so we take a broad view, and not just the "youngest x in this election".
