Article is basically a campaign advertisement. Person isn't running for office until next year so at least WP:TOOSOON. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:33, 17 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's a very fair argument. This person is running in a currently active campaign, with the primary elections less than a year away. You can use this logic for any politician. Please clarify why you believe this page is unworthy, it fits all wiki criteria and guidelines. None of the info is false nor is it in any way an advertisement, i purposefuly wrote it in a very objective manner. If you have any thoughtful ideas on how to change it, however, please let me know and I will gladly cooperate. Markumansky (talk) 01:52, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Appears to fail WP:GNG, definitely fails WP:POLITICIAN. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:32, 17 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, instead of attacking this and saying delete, could you all offer some advice on this issue? How can I change this around so that it does not fail? I am new to posting on wikipedia so I'm not sure that I understand. I would really appreciate advice and not complete shutting down. Markumansky (talk) 02:37, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I understand it is frustrating and creating a page for the first time can be challenging. What you need to appreciate is that no one is attacking you or the page. This is how Wikipedia works. I'm sorry to say that if you are going to take such things personally, this may not be the place for you. Pages on Wikipedia must meet the General notability guideline and in this case WP:POLITICIAN. You want advice? Here it is. Read the following links: WP:GNG, WP:POLITICIAN and WP:OSE. Finally, as you are new, I would encourage you to consider using Articles for creation. This process will allow you to slowly build a page with assistance as you go without fear of the page being deleted before it is ready. Best of luck. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:22, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Okay thanks for your clarification, it does mean a lot. Would I be able to read those guidelines and try to ammend my page in that case, or are you going to delete in regardless? I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Markumansky (talk) 15:17, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Per WP:POLITICIAN being "an unelected candidate for political office does not guarantee notability" and there is no other evidence this individual is notable or recognised outside New Jersey state politics. This article functions largely as a campaign advertisement. AusLondonder (talk) 21:56, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, as above, per WP:POLITICIAN among several other issues. I appreciate the frustration of the editor who created this article, but this article is not ready for prime time at this point. Alansohn (talk) 23:44, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This guy may appear on the primary ballot next year, which he may win, and then he may go on to be elected governor. If he wins the primary he may then have enough coverage to create a workable article. For now there just is not that and we should delete.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - As of now, he is not a notable politician. Meatsgains (talk) 01:11, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. As always, a person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate for office in and of itself — if you cannot demonstrate and source that he was already notable enough for an article for some other reason independent of his candidacy, then he does not become notable enough for an article until he wins the election. We create and keep and maintain articles about holders of notable political offices, not everybody who merely runs for one. No prejudice against recreation next year if he wins the governorship, but nothing shown or sourced here gets him an article today. Bearcat (talk) 02:37, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I concur with the majority of views previously offered; individual does not meet the notability requirement for a politician, activist, businessman, or anything else. The article is written as a campaign advertisement, on top of that. ALPolitico (talk) 02:57, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
