WP:BLP, formatted like a résumé rather than an encyclopedia article and not adequately referenced, about a person notable primarily as a trade unionist and political organizer. While the trade union work might be a valid notability claim if it could be sourced properly, it's not an automatic inclusion freebie that guarantees him a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- but the sourcing here consists of two "references" to his own self-published social networking profiles, and two glancing namechecks of his existence in newspaper articles about other things. This is not the kind of sourcing needed to make someone notable enough for an encyclopedia article — he needs to be referenced to media coverage about him, not just to namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or to his own social networking profiles — and even if it were properly sourced it would still have to be rewritten in an encyclopedic format rather than a résumé format.

 * Speedily delete - Posting facebook & twitter refs as sources is an insult to wikipedia. The user should be punished I think. And, one trivial mention in a newspaper doesn't prove notability. Makhamakhi (talk) 15:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
