Fails WP:POLITICIAN, the subject was never an officeholder at international, national or sub-national level. There is also a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent from the subject, fails WP:GNG. I'm even unable to verify if this person's still living or not as there's not much about him in search results. Many of the sources in the article might be considered routine coverage.

Delete. Non-winning candidates for political office are not automatically presumed notable just for being candidates, not even if they're "perennial" candidates who've run a bunch of times without winning — but the balance between primary and reliable sourcing here is tilted too far in the wrong direction to deem him as getting over WP:GNG as a special case who would somehow be more notable than other non-winning candidates.
