Emanuel Pleitez

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is about non-notable political aide. OCNative (talk) 12:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I will note that there are no articles for any of the also-rans in any of the five previous articles on special elections in California for Congress:
 * California's 12th congressional district special election, 2008
 * California's 37th congressional district special election, 2007
 * California's 50th congressional district special election, 2006
 * California's 48th congressional district special election, 2005
 * California's 5th congressional district special election, 2005
 * (the exception being in the 50th, but in that election, Kaloogian and Morrow had been state legislators before running and Turner was in the NFL - those three are notable by virtue of being state legislators and an NFL player not because they ran for Congress). OCNative (talk) 03:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * He's a congressional candidate, which clears the bar as far as notability goes. I'd keep. --Weebot (talk) 23:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Just being a candidate fails to meet the criteria at WP:POLITICIAN. OCNative (talk) 04:03, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * His run for congress has been featured on the NY Times with a photo http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/03/business/03bankers.html. Seems notable to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmuny11 (talk • contribs) 00:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * His congressional race got half a sentence - they mostly quoted him as an investment banker. Should every person ever pictured in the New York Times be notable? Also, Gmuny11 has only edited articles relating to Emanuel Pleitez. OCNative (talk) 03:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * There's also User:Lealspeed, who kept trying to jam inappropriate Pleitez bio stuff into California's 32nd congressional district special election, 2009, and User:Omrecinos, who only does Pleitez editing as well. A lot of WP:COI going on, perhaps.  Wasted Time R (talk) 04:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Weak delete. He is indeed running for the seat (assuming Hilda Solis gets confirmed and the whole special election happens, which is not a sure thing at this point), but he is a long-shot and is not one of the leading candidates (Gil Cedillo and Judy Chu are). Wasted Time R (talk) 00:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)  Changing my position, due to WP:PEOPLE's guideline of: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article.'"  I'm not convinced the coverage is significant yet.  The fact that everything written about the subject has been from the three WP:SPA/WP:COI accounts User:Gmuny11, User:Lealspeed, and User:Omrecinos, reinforces this view.  Wasted Time R (talk) 05:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Not Convinced ? "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive. The requirements of Significant Coverage has been met according to the notability guidelines.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ( talk→   Bwilkins / BMW   ←track ) 14:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:POLITICIAN. JohnCD (talk) 20:04, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Primary notability guidelines, met. Coverage is available from reliable sources. Candidate is recognized as contender for the seat of 32nd Congressional in California. Media sources are independent of subject. Including Obama Transition review information, interviews by KNBC, KVEA, and KMEX on January 10, 2009. This coverage should be presumed substantive, regardless if it currently is not more or greater than other candidates in the political race.

 * Keep Question of whether he's the favorite to win is different from whether or not his campaign is being covered by independent reliable sources which it certainly is at this point. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 carterblanchard(talk) 09:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep This is an important race and Pleitez has attracted substantial media and community attention.  User:OCNative has a perceived bias against the candidate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Viapastrengo (talk • contribs) 00:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
