Complaint about AfD result

Dan is absolutely a notable figure and deserves to have a Wikipedia page. First and foremost he is the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate for the state of Maryland which has a population of over 5 million people. There are Wikipedia pages for nearly every nominee of this years election, as well as Wikipedia pages for all of the other candidates in this specific election. In addition there are several dozen second and third tier Senatorial opponents throughout the country that have Wikipedia pages. Second, Dan has provided expect testimony on National Television Outlets numerous times on the subject matter of issues ranging from International security, terrorism, emergency preparedness and a host of domestic policy issues. A brief listing of those appearances would include, Hannity , Levin, Fox, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, Rachael Maddox, etc. In addition, he has also been published in media outlets such as the Washington Times, The Washington Post, The Capital Gazette, Red State and countless numbers of regional and local Newspapers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PoliticalJunkie2016 (talk • contribs) 13:57, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Some other candidates have pages? That is not relevant here. Many other candidates have notability aside from their candidacies. Some have already held elective office (if it's in a state or national legislature, or as a councilmember or mayor of a large city, that qualifies as notability). Some are notable before they run for office; Ilario Pantano's article was created four years before he ran (unsuccessfully) for office in 2010. Some candidates become notable because of their campaign, such as Alvin Greene; the reportage of his candidacy was far more extensive than that of Bongino. The most significant problem with Bongino is that he is not notable outside of his candidacy. His career, while admirable, does not meet the threshold of notability. (None of the references in any of the versions of this article are not about his candidacy.) His opponents are not of the same level of notability; Ben Cardin is an incumbent U.S. Senator who has held multiple notable elective offices continuously since 1967, and Rob Sobhani has published articles in multiple print sources (The Christian Science Monitor, The Washington Times and Saudi Gazette, among others), was the subject in an interview about US-Iran relations on NPR, and has been quoted in dozens of articles in newspapers about subjects other than his multiple runs for office.
