Talk:Kim Klacik

Should there be a page created for Kim Klacik?
Kim Klacik was the Republican nominee in the special election in Maryland's 7th district (which I have had the Kim Klacik page redirect to), and is now running as the Republican in the general election as well. President Donald Trump retweeted a campaign ad by Klacik, which has gone semi-viral. I am curious of what people think of creating a full Wikipedia page for Klacik, and decided to start this talk page to discuss. PickleG13 (talk) 19:32, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Leaning toward support -- I felt I should personally give my opinion on the creation of a page for Klacik. Since a variety of Republican congressional candidates have been given Wikipedia pages in the 2020 cycle, even ones with little chance of actually winning, it seems reasonable to give one to Klacik. I am a Wikipedia inclusionist, and err on the side of freedom when it comes to what pages appear for what figures. However, I also understand that (although she has a track record from the special election) Klacik is just coming to widespread notoriety now and we don't necessarily need to jump on that immediately. I also don't believe Klacik will win, despite the production value of her ad and her newly viral status. PickleG13 (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2020 (UTC)


 * She would have to meet GNG. There is currently a draft article at Draft:Kimberly Klacik, so you should probably concentrate on improving it first. Since she has some very recent publicity, try to so if you can establish notability from sources prior to this month or even year. That should address the recentism factor. - BilCat (talk) 19:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Support -- Concur with PickleG13. As an outspoken black conservative firebrand, Klacik appears to be a rising star in the Republican party, regardless of the outcome of this election. - JGabbard (talk) 22:26, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
