This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Comment: Please refer to the below comment for analysis of other sources.* [1] and [2] are WP:ROUTINE coverage of the announcement of his candidacy, so can't count towards WP:BIO. The 1st one is also potentially WP:PRIMARY as it states that it is based of a WP:PRSOURCE released by the Liberal Party.[3] is paywalled, but, from what is not redacted is potentially WP:PRIMARY as it seems to be mainly based of statements he made/an interview with him. Regardless, even assuming that this counts, multiple published sources that pass are required per WP:BIO.So basically due to losing the election he's not eligible for WP:NPOL and per this source analysis and the one below, he fails the requirements of WP:BIO.

- Comment: He doesn't meet WP:NPOL as he didn't win the 2022 election, so it falls back onto WP:BIO.* LinkedIn is self-published so it can't count towards it.* [4] is a WP:PRIMARY as the only content to do with him specifically is an interview with him, so it doesn't count either.* [5], [6] and [7] are articles written by him, so also WP:PRIMARY and don't come close to a WP:NJOURNALIST pass.* [8] is a WP:PRSOURCE and [9] is WP:PRIMARY as it's from the company's website.Reviewing the other sources now.
