Larry Holmes (activist)

This article is about a member of the Workers World Party. Though he ran as the party's presidential nominee in U.S. presidential elections, there appears to be no significant coverage of him in independent reliable sources (the Workers World website is run by the WWP). A BEFORE search turned up nothing helpful. Happy to be proven wrong, but as far I can see the source material does not exist. Indy beetle (talk) 07:06, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. People are not guaranteed Wikipedia articles just for being unsuccessful fringe party candidates for president — if the article could actually be reliably sourced over WP:GNG, then things might be different, but being a minor presidential candidate isn't "inherently" notable enough to justify leaning 100 per cent on his party's own self-published primary sourcing about itself.

 * Delete being a high ranking member of a fringe party with no power and not even electoral impact in even a non-winning way is in no way a sign of notability at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
