Alejandra Bravo (community activist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia's longstanding consensus is that merely being a candidate for office — especially at the municipal level, but not generally at higher levels of government either — is not a sufficient claim of notability to get a person past WP:POLITICIAN, and this article as written does not make any credible claim that she's established enough non-local notability to get past a different notability guideline instead. The article, further, cites only one non-WP:PRIMARYSOURCE; the other one is her "our personalities" bio on the webpage of a television station she's worked for, which is therefore not an independent source that properly establishes notability. I like her, I want her to win the election, and she'll certainly qualify for an article if she does win — but she doesn't qualify for an article yet under our current inclusion rules. Delete.

 * Just a quick followup comment to note that the creator moved an existing article about a different Alejandra Bravo in order to facilitate turning the main title into a dab page — so if this does get deleted, the dab page will also have to be deleted and the other person moved back to her original title. If and when this Alejandra Bravo wins election to a notable office, then we can deal with any new disambiguation issues that arise. Bearcat (talk) 18:40, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Very few candidates get notability from running, this is clearly not an exception to that rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:32, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - longstanding consensus per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:POLITICIAN holds that running for office once or twice does not make one notable. If this subject truly is a community activist, there should be good sources in there to prove general notability. Bearian (talk) 21:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
