Comment: The standard for accepting an article through AfC is that it would be able to pass a deletion discussion if it were so nominated. A common outcome in deletion discussions is that coverage of a person's political campaigns is (with some exceptions that don't apply here) WP:ROUTINE. While campaign coverage can be used to establish biographical facts about that person, it doesn't contribute to WP:SIGCOV. Therefore, in order for a BLP about this person to demonstrate WP:N, we need multiple, WP:RS sources about him that are unrelated to his campaign for public office. The 60 Minutes segment is a good start, we just need a couple additional non-campaign sources. Chetsford (talk) 20:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
