WP:BLP of a political strategist who has never held any role that confers an automatic free pass of WP:NPOL just because he exists, but is not reliably sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG. Holding a role within a political party's internal organizational structure can get a person into Wikipedia if they're well-sourced as the subject of coverage about their work in that role, but every single link listed under either "references" or "external links" is one of three things: a primary source that does not constitute support for notability at all, a brief glancing namecheck of his existence in a news article about somebody else, or a source that just soundbites his personal advice on basic career planning strategies. As well, the article has been flagged for notability and sourcing issues since 2010 without seeing significant improvement. Not even one of these references is substantively about him for the purposes of getting him over GNG, but the role he held is not so "inherently" notable as to exempt him from actually having to pass GNG.

 * Keep it passes WP:BASIC/WP:GNG (especially if one considers the external links) and therefore its irrelevant whether or not it meets WP:NPOL. Horse Eye Jack (talk) 18:06, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't meet WP:ANYBIO - Epinoia (talk) 00:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete since subject fails WP:NPOLITICIAN. As a side note, the text has been created by a kamikaze account and then amplified by another one. Election time is AfD overtime. -The Gnome (talk) 17:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
