This article was written with entirely different content and sources than the previously deleted version (which I wasn't even aware of until now). The fact that a topic was once deleted does not preclude a new article being created. In any case, this new article meets all Wikipedia requirements for RS, NPOV, no OR, etc. It avoids reliance on primary or self-published sources, referencing reliable secondary sources only.
The fact that a candidate for political office has not previously held elective office is not necessarily determinative of notability for a Wikipedia mainspace article. Notability is established by virtue of having met the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". The citations provided in this new article clearly demonstrate that this is so.
We thus have here a notable person, a published author and major party candidate for high elective office of national significance, i.e., the US Senate. Indeed, Campbell was covered by national media as recently as last week and his debate with his opponent was nationally televised. Therefore this article's encyclopedic value is evident and useful as a reference for the Wikipedia reader seeking more information than a mere redirect to United States Senate election in Maryland, 2018 alone provides. -- JGHowes talk03:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
