Junior Escarment

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Promotional article on a non notable politician who fails to meet any criterion from WP:NPOL and in general lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him. A before search reveals self published sources, user generated sources and a plethora of other primary sources. Celestina007 (talk) 18:58, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, a possible candidate? That's two removes from notability. At least be a candidate, and preferably get elected. Also withdrawing from a PhD program doesn't get me all that excited, certainly not enough to want to know the title of the thesis that didn't get written. It's way WP:TOOSOON.

 * Delete Much WP:TOOSOON, fails to meet WP:NPOL. Also article is heavily promotional, most refs do not mention the subject.-- ☾Loriendrew☽  ☏(ring-ring)  22:44, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete does not pass WP:NPOL and not otherwise notable. Mccapra (talk) 23:32, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails NPOL. The article is promotional too with unsubstantiated claims that the subject will be running for Governor in 2026....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:49, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails NPOL, and perhaps, WP:TOOSOON. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:04, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, A potential candidate is not notable. Alex-h (talk) 14:59, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: The funniest part is the fact whoever wrote this just copied the Political positions section from DeSantis's article, removed the parts he disagreed with, and then added "Escarment supports" to the beginning of each sub-section, while leaving the rest verbatim.

 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, potential or otherwise, in future elections that they have not yet won — Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform for aspiring future notables to advertise themselves, and the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just standing as a candidate for one. In order to qualify for an article now, Escarment would have to show that he already had preexisting notability for some other reason independent of his candidacy — such as already having attained notability as a writer, a musician, an athlete or a holder of another WP:NPOL-passing office. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in November 2022 if he actually wins the seat, but he's not entitled to use Wikipedia to promote his candidacy for the seat in the meantime.

 * Delete fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:21, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
