Weakly sourced promotional article fails WP:BASIC and WP:POLITICIAN. There is a real lack of independent coverage of the subject and connected entities--I searched. Logical Cowboy (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Logical Cowboy, I responded to your COI comment and just wanted to reiterate the challenge of sourcing third parties in the developing world. Do you have any tips on this challenge? And I do believe that his western notability will greatly pick up based on what I saw in Africa. But it may not. I removed the part about his policies (which to me did seem a bit promotional) to be maintain neutrality. -Jcruise Jcruiseonya (talk) 20:55, 20 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's a real challenge. But are there any newspaper articles about hi? That's the sort of sources we need.  DGG ( talk ) 00:57, 21 March 2015 (UTC)


 * This looks like something between a campaign advertisement and a hoax. The Congolese Central Party gets almost no hits on Google, other than Facebooks and Twitters.    Logical Cowboy (talk) 14:10, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Being a candidate for election to an office that the topic hasn't won yet does not satisfy Wikipedia's inclusion criteria in and of itself — if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that he was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article before becoming a candidate, then he has to win the election, not merely run in it, to become notable enough for a Wikipedia article. And that's not a "third world double-standard" thing, as it's the exact same standard that we apply even in countries where unelected candidates can almost always technically get sourced over GNG. But that hasn't been shown here; this article is relying almost entirely on primary sources. Delete, without prejudice against recreation next year if he wins.

 * Comment I think the article may be a hoax or some weird advertisement. The Congolese Central Party gets almost no hits on google--does it actually exist?  Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:34, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
