Johsie Cruz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as an as yet unelected candidate in a future election, not referenced to any evidence of notability-supporting reliable source coverage. As always, candidates are not automatically entitled to keep permanent Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates per se -- the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. The claim that she's the first person of her ethno-national background ever to run for Congress is not supported by any source that verifies it -- instead, it's supported by a primary source that technically verifies her candidacy, but fails to verify the claim that the candidacy is a historic first. And regardless, "first member of X group to do a not otherwise notable thing" is not an article-clinching notability claim even if it were sourced. Across the board, the references here are entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as her own campaign website and the self-published websites of organizations she's directly affiliated with and directory entries -- and the only real media source present in the article is being used solely to tangentially verify the existence of an organization while completely failing to mention Johsie Cruz's name at all in conjunction with it, so it still doesn't help to support her notability. As always, no prejudice against recreation in November if she wins her seat, but nothing here is valid grounds for her to already have a Wikipedia article today.

 * Delete - The lead sentence makes three claims for notability stant she is a theologian, entrepreneur, and politician. The claim of being a theologian is not backed up with any sort of statement in the article as to what she has done as a theologian.  The claim to being an entrepreneur presumably is from starting Red Alternativa Capitalista de Información.  But I can find no coverage about her and her entrepreneurship.  The only coverage is mentions in routine election coverage which does not establish her notability as a politician, especially one who has held no political office. -- Whpq (talk) 14:28, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect or Delete Redirect to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia as a usual and appropriate outcome for candidates running for the US Hours of Representatives. Candidates do not meet WP:NPOL as Bearcat describes. --Enos733 (talk) 15:28, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
