Manan trivedi

Not clear that this person meets WP:POLITICIAN. Every candidate for an office will be reported in the local media; the guideline makes it explicit that this is insufficient to establish notability for Wikipedia purposes. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the feedback -- Trivedi is actually getting international attention for this run because of his place in the Indian immigrant community. He is also generating national attention because he is an Iraq war veteran. If I find more sources to corroborate those non-local stories, will that be helpful? --Kalipoli (talk) 19:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Right now I don't see that you have any sources at all that indicate national or international attention, though I may have missed something. Yes, that would help. But I don't know what you mean when you refer to "his place in the Indian immigrant community" or what its significance is. A biographical article on Wikipedia needs to provide the information about a person that indicates why it makes sense to have an article about him preserved in an encyclopedia, and needs to provide neutral, third-party reliable sources of the sort called for in the guidelines. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate your patience here. I've added a score of new links from some of these international sources. Also I think his role in helping to shape national health policy (both as an advisor to the Surgeon General of the Navy and with President Obama) should not be overlooked in this process. --Kalipoli (talk) 03:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I do not think Wikipedia needs to turn into another social networking site for candidates to advertise their campaign. Not a good idea at all. He is a veteran which is honorable but he has done nothing notable beyond that. This page should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.148.185 (talk • contribs) — 68.83.148.185 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
