Draft:Steven Solarz
Comment: Please note that being a candidate in a political party nomination contest is not in and of itself grounds for a Wikipedia article -- he'll qualify for an article if he wins a House of Commons seat on election day, but candidates are not entitled to have Wikipedia articles just for being candidates. But per WP:NPOL, serving on a local school board also does not entitle a person to inclusion in Wikipedia, so he isn't eligible for an article on the basis of having been a school board trustee either. Wikipedia does not exist to help aspiring future MPs publicize their campaigns — the baseline for a Wikipedia article is winning a seat in a legislative election, not just running for one.
