 * Redirect to 2023 Nashville mayoral election I'm not finding any significant coverage. Most of what I find is brief mentions within articles relating to the election as a whole. Redirecting seems appropriate for now, with no prejudice against recreating an article if he wins. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 16:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete currently fails GNG, WP:TOOSOON in the event he wins, will fail WP:NPOL if he loses. SportingFlyer  T · C  17:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete and/or redirect. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in future mayoral elections — the notability test at NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one. But this is doing absolutely nothing to establish that he would pass NPOL #2 as a Metro Councillor, either — at that level of office, the notability test is not passed by minimally verifying that he exists, but by writing and sourcing a substantive article about his political impact: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his time in office had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But that's not what's on offer here. Obviously no prejudice against recreation after September 14 if he wins the election, but nothing here is already enough to already earn him an article a month in advance of the election.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to 2023 Nashville mayoral election as suggested above. It's clear that at best, the article was created a bit WP:TOOSOON although maybe nominating for deletion should have waited a few weeks to see if the candidate would then pass WP:NPOL. I think a redirect serves well for two reasons; that recreation by reverting the RD can be done easily if they are elected (with suitable sourcing), and that they already seem reasonably well associated with the election that it's a useful redirect target regardless.
