Evan Price (Canadian Politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Autobiography with no sources that show this person meets the notability guidelines. Good faith google search coming up with primary sources and something that reads a lot like a press release. PROD was contested without explanation by IP user without addressing the issues, so here we are. -- Fabrictramp &#124;  talk to me  00:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete In addition to failing WP:NPOL and WP:GNG, the article appears to also be an WP:AUTOBIO. Best, GPL93 (talk) 01:55, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Article is clearly an WP:AUTOBIO, that was created by Evan himself. Kevinhanit (talk) 02:38, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * DELETE - To paraphrase Winston Wolfe, just because the subject would like to be a politician doesn't mean that he is a politician. WP:NPOL explicitly states that an 'unelected candidate for political office' has no guarantee of notability. And all of the news results were for other people. Even removing the bracketed words and then adding the riding name did not provide a single result pointing to him. No 'newspaper' results at all. As an aside, his party does not have a strong track record in that riding. Not sure of the significance here but creating his own page (which is what appears to have happened), doesn't make for a good look. ogenstein (talk) 20:52, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in future elections — Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhost for campaign literature. To get a Wikipedia article because politics, he would have to win the seat on October 20, and thereby hold the office of MP — and short of that, he has to be demonstrated as already having preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway. So he can be recreated on or after election day if he wins, but nothing here is a reason why he's already eligible to have a Wikipedia article today. Bearcat (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Placeholder article for someone who fails WP:NPOL. Could theoretically be a G11 if it could be proven to be PROMO. Bkissin (talk) 20:40, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete unelected candidates for office are rarely notable. Wikipedia is not a platform for distributing campaign literature.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
