Being a political candidate is not notable itself. Anyone can run for Congress, but that's not a sign of notability. He needs to win his race to become notable. Fails WP:NPOL as a current primary candidate and does not pass WP:GNG as Wendt is not notable outside of his campaign.:

Redirect to 2020 United States Senate election in Wyoming.Djflem (talk) 17:10, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People don't get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they have not won — and the existence of one piece of "man declares candidacy" in his district's local media is not a free pass over WP:GNG that would exempt him from having to pass WP:NPOL in and of itself. To already be eligible for an article today, he would need to demonstrate either that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway, or that his coverage was nationalizing to such an extent that he had a credible claim to being much more notable than the norm for candidates, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. Obviously no prejudice against recreation after election day if he wins, since his notability claim will have shifted from "candidate" to "officeholder" — but nothing here is already enough today.

Delete - Had he won the Democratic primary, I would have supported keeping the article, but now that it has been called for Ben David, Wendt is not even a party nominee, so he is not notable enough to have an article. Jacoby531 (talk) 03:30, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject did not win the Democratic nomination. Had he won, I would have suggested a redirect. Does not pass WP:NPOL. --Enos733 (talk) 15:09, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
