Seeking further guidance on this new article by a new Wikipedian...

I understand the concern re non-notable politician/unelected candidate - have removed this reference.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP

It seems to me to meet the requirements - all claims of awards, publications, positions etc are linked to external sites where this information can be verified independently.
