Callum Robertson (politiican)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:BLP of a political organizer and unsuccessful election candidate, not properly referenced as passing Wikipedia inclusion criteria. As always, neither political spokesmen nor election candidates are "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown as the subject of sufficient media coverage to establish a credible reason why they should be seen as special cases of significantly greater notability than other people who've done the same things. But five of the six footnotes here are not support for notability at all -- his own LinkedIn, his own Twitter, an alumni profile on the self-published website of his own alma mater, a Q&A interview in which he's doing the speaking (as opposed to being the subject whom other people are speaking about), and a piece of his own bylined writing (as opposed to being the subject whom other people are writing about) -- and the only WP:GNG-worthy footnote is a single piece of run of the mill coverage of his unsuccessful election campaign, which is not enough to get him over the notability bar all by itself since every candidate in every election can always show at least one of those.
