Notability Concerns[edit]

This article may not meet WP:POLITICIAN and may warrant deletion. I am tagging it so it can be reviewed by other editors. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-^☖ 14:46, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She meets the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". She has been covered by The Atlantic and The Hill as a candidate for federal office. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:10, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

She was also one of four subjects of a documentary. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:50, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Coffeeandcrumbs: I wrote out those concerns nearly two years ago. The article's completely changed since then. Honestly, it feels a completely different user wrote that considering how little I knew at the time about Wikipedia, but I'm the only one who uses CG Times in their signature. The article pretty clearly meets WP:GNG now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 01:48, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I meant nothing by it. Your concern was arguably reasonable then, now less so. I just wanted to mitigate an unnecessary AfD by drive-by. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 01:52, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah gotcha lol –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 03:18, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

I don't know how to add an image or the policy behind it, but if someone who does have that knowledge sees this, here are a couple of places you may be able to source an image: https://twitter.com/paulajean2018/media https://www.facebook.com/paulajean2018/photos/ https://paulajean2018.com/ Disaster Area (talk) 07:47, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Best would be someone uploading a picture that they themselves took. If you can find an appropriately licensed photo on Flickr, then Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr may be helpful. wbm1058 (talk) 14:16, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Broke infobox[edit]

I am so sorry. I was trying to fix the infobox to reflect that Swearengin is, like Andrew Yang, not yet officially part of a new party. However, I somehow damaged the infobox, and can't figure out what I messed up. Could someone please fix? Thanks so much! PickleG13 (talk) 06:32, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted from your edit on party affiliation from "People's Party" to "Independent" (and therefore the infobox is back to its working state) because the People's party is described as a party in various secondary sources and has obtained ballot access in Florida earlier this year and is working towards doing so in other states (as mentioned on the party's Wikipedia page).^[1] But we should discuss further here if needed.

(previous) People's party affiliation[edit]

There is not very much information on the People's Party, but The Hill describes it as a political party, saying "The Movement for a People’s Party is a progressive populist party". So it seems fair to list it along with Swearengin's other political party affiliations. Fiwec81618 (talk) 04:20, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
