coverage of unelected political candidate is only with the context of his candidacy for elective office ... does not meet threshold of WP:NPOL Wolfson5 (talk) 18:21, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I thought this would meet minimum standards for notability. I might be mistaken. He's received some big name endorsements. To be clear, Ocasio-Cortez hasn't won any office but is notable enough. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uhtregorn (talk • contribs) 18:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Ocasio-Cortez easily passes WP:GNG on her own, please avoid WP:OSE arguments. SportingFlyer  talk  06:45, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NPOL and WP:PROMO/NPOV matters. SportingFlyer  talk  06:45, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins. This isn't as sourced as it looks, because many of the footnotes are just unnecessary reduplications of other footnotes — the Steinhauser, Tuohy, Re and Votesmart references each show up three times apiece and Chooljian shows up twice — so there are really only nine distinct sources here. That said, candidates are not automatically entitled to have articles just for being candidates — if they haven't already been elected to office, then they have to have a strong claim to being notable for more than just the fact of being candidates. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is such a special case, because she's already so bloody "flying around the country to endorse other candidates" hyperfamous, so "Republicans are desperate to turn the national election into a personal referendum on her rather than on Trump" hyperfamous, that even I know her name even though I'm a Canadian who's not going particularly far out of my way to follow a foreign election all that closely. But every other candidate in every other district has not automatically cleared the same bar she has just because a bit of local campaign coverage exists, because a bit of local campaign coverage always exists — again, what makes Ocasio Cortez a special case is that her coverage has nationalized unbelievably far out of proportion to what every candidate everywhere could always show, while the coverage shown here has not.

 * Interesting points all around! Did not know some of these, but glad I do now! Uhtregorn (talk) 02:54, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NPOL. State Liquor Control Board and small-town sheriff do not make notability. Tone is overly promotional, but that's to be expected in election season. I'd say it could event be a G11 candidate. Bkissin (talk) 18:20, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
