David Belle Isle

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

David Belle Isle is a local politician who ran for a single statewide office. Alpharetta, Georgia is approximately 67,213. This is well below the threshold at least regional prominence defined under POLOUTCOMES. His candidacy does not pass the test that he could be referenced to such an unusual depth, range and volume of press coverage that her candidacy could be credibly claimed as much more special than everybody else's candidacies in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance (see Christine O'Donnell). I believe that he therefore does not meet the notability standards for political figures. Mpen320 (talk) 19:08, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future elections they haven't won — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and Wikipedia is not a free public relations database for aspiring future officeholders to promote their candidacies in the meantime. But the only other attempted claim of notability here is that he's mayor of a city which is not large enough to secure the "inherent" notability of its mayors in the absence of any substance or sourcing to actually get them over WP:NPOL #2.
