Amara Enyia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an unsuccessful mayoral candidate. As always, unelected candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates: they must either (a) already have had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy (i.e. the Cynthia Nixon test), or (b) be referenceable to a volume and depth and range of media coverage that marks his candidacy out as much more special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (the Christine O'Donnell test). I do not believe Enyia passes either test. I do not believe her local government career passes Notability--Mpen320 (talk) 19:18, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get articles just for being unelected candidates for office, but this article is literally just going for the "reference bomb it in every source you can find that even has her name in it at all, without regard to whether it supports anything substantively or enduringly noteworthy" approach to article-building: routine local campaign coverage, check. Neighbourhood hyperlocals, check. Blogs, check. Primary sources, check. Glancing namechecks of her existence in sources where she is not the subject, check. Unsubstantiated and unprosecuted allegations of unethical behaviour that wouldn't get her over WP:PERP in lieu of having to pass NPOL, check. Her own LinkedIn, check. University student media, check. This is not how you demonstrate that an unsuccessful candidate is significantly more special than other unelected candidates. Bearcat (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
