 * Delete candidate running for the Florida House of Representatives. Fails WP:NPOL. --Enos733 (talk) 16:02, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as above per WP:N. He has not even been elected to any major office yet, so he is a hopeful, not a real politician. No evidence of bribes or scandals, so not much news!. Ode+Joy (talk) 16:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-winning candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, and that goes double when the election is over a year away so the candidate hasn't even won a primary yet let alone the general election. But there's no other claim here that he has preexisting notability for other reasons independent of a candidacy, and this is extremely overdependent on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him in any non-trivial way, and purely run of the mill campaign coverage of the type that every candidate in every district in every election always gets, which is not enough to render his candidacy more special than everybody else's candidacies.

 * Keep I am the creator of the page. I realize he is not an officeholder at the moment, but the name "Jake Hoffman" was taken and is a common name, so I had to add (Florida_Politician) at the end, as the most appropriate. So rather than deleting, maybe the name can be changed, because he still has significant news and per WP:NPOL, it states: "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 general notability guideline." As such he meets WP:GNG criteria.


 * Here are some of the news that are significant and in-depth:, and with combination of many mentions in several articles, he meets WP:GNG.


 * Possibly some of these delete voters are Democrats, and since the subject is Republican, they are ignoring the fact that he meets WP:GNG. Furthermore, the delete voters are mostly following what the others have said, without actually taking a close look at who Hoffman really is. Lagerstormeus (talk) 02:07, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
