Leo Alexander (politician)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No significant coverage of this political candidate exists, appears to fail WP:BIO.  ttonyb (talk) 13:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * But there is national news coverage of this political candidate.  He just launched his campaign. Why do you have against me, seriously? Dc archivist (talk) 14:13, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment – Neither are substantial or national coverage.


 * Comment There's a video This is something else. Good luck do whatever you want. Dc archivist (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 14:50, 15 September 2009 (UTC).


 * Delete And would do well to assume good faith.  AfD does not indicate that anybody has anything against you.  No indication of notability.Simonm223 (talk) 14:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment ok. I'll get over it. Dc archivist (talk) 20:11, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * We don't automatically have coverage of political candidates. Leo Alexander has just announced his candidacy for the mayoral election a year away, and has got a couple of items of coverage in local news, another item here. It's not enough to demonstrate the kind of notability needed per WP:BIO or WP:POLITICIAN. I suggest WP:USERFICATION of this page so that Dc archivist can work on it until significantly more press coverage appears. Fences  &amp;  Windows  21:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete premature article. Wait until he's mayor. (no objection to userfication) Ohconfucius (talk) 06:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - If userfying is being considered, as was suggested above, I submit that it might be better to move this article to WP:INCUBATOR, a new project that is essentially the same as the userfy option, except it's in a central area, in the project namespace. The advantages of incubation over userfication are that more eyes will see the article, and that it won't sit there indefinitely out of sight if no improvement occurs. Thanks for your consideration. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think this kind of article is right for the Incubator; it's a case of waiting to see if he'll become notable. That's not what the Incubator is for. Fences  &amp;  Windows  02:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
