AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable as model. Not notable as a political candidate, running as candidate for mayor of Paducah, Kentucky. Promotional. Deleted back in September 2019. Eostrix (talk) 07:29, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NCREATIVE, radically fails WP:NPOL. Just churnalism. Very very close to G11. Suggest adding some SALT to the mix, so as to enforce use of AfC. John from Idegon (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not even sure waht the claim here is but he isn't notable and this looks like paid for spam chock full of fake sources. Praxidicae (talk) 17:48, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Kentucky-related deletion discussions.  MT Train Talk 18:58, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

WP:ANYBIO "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." It is sourced several times of Dujuan Thomas receiving the highest honor obtainable, given directly by the Governor, in a neutral, non promotional way. With the commission of Honorable Kentucky Colonal.
 * Delete not notable as an actor or politician. Even if he wins the Paducah mayorship his notability will not be for sure.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:35, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes the following

WP:POLITICIAN "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." Several National News sources have covered Dujuan Thomas, as well as national radio broadcast on his political candidacy.

WP:CREATIVE For his several sourced links discussing his roles in entertainment and film.

WP:ENT "Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." Again several of the cited sources have discussed Dujuan Thomas having a large social following and his roles in entertainment on a national level

WP:SOLDIER Again several sources have noted Dujuan being a veteran and receiving the highest honor of Kentucky Colonel.

I urge my fellow editors to follow policy and not put personal bias in front of the greater good of Wikipedia.

When not to delete

Articles we are not interested in – some topics are of interest only to some people, but since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, articles that interest some people should be kept.

Articles on topics you wish didn't exist for personal belief reasons – Wikipedia contains information on all topics, not just those which any person or group agrees with. Do research about the article before voting. The more you know, the better your decision will be, and the more useful your contribution will be to the debate. Assume good faith. Remember that other editors may disagree with you, but may still be trying to help the encyclopedia.

I ask you to help improve the article if you find it in error, but from the guidelines of WIKI it passes. Ty012345 (talk) 07:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
