 * – ( View AfD View log )

Gomez is not a notable figure. He has never held elected office. He is therefore not a politician and does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for a politician https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Politicians_and_judges — Preceding unsigned comment added by OverArmour (talk • contribs) 04:15, April 6, 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Discussion page was created without the afd2 template and not properly transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion of my own at this time.  --Finngall talk  22:56, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: The nom having only made a handful of edits (among which was an attempted revert on a prod of this article), it's unsurprising that he had very little handle on relevant deletion policies and guidelines, this nomination being Exhibit A. While the subject doesn't meet NPOL, he does meet the GNG, with substantial coverage from multiple high-quality sources.   Ravenswing      02:08, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the senate election page - I don't see how he's notable outside of his candidacy. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:03, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete then Redirect to 2013 United States Senate special election in Massachusetts. Not independently notable outside of the Senate campaign. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete an unelected candidate for US seate who does not get the truly significant coverage in a way to show actual notability.16:05, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to 2013 United States Senate special election in Massachusetts (I suggest the main article, not the "Republican primary" section, as he ran in the general election), as is standard for unelected candidates for U.S. Senate, consistent with WP:POLOUTCOMES. Yes, he received media coverage during his candidacy, but it's the kind of routine, run-of-the-mill coverage that every Republican or Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate receives. Coverage of his campaign does not indicate that it was a particularly historic campaign with enduring significance that would necessitate a standalone article.
