Michael Dixon (politician)

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

Thoroughly fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. Sourced entirely by primary sources. A WP:BEFORE internet search on multiple search engines found no significant coverage whatsoever in WP:RS-compliant sources.

This is a contested PROD. The prod tag was removed with the comment: "we have articles on all other Libertairian party chairs, I don't think it benefits readers to exclude this one." My reply to this editor's good faith argument is a) WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid rationale against deletion; b) intraparty officeholders, even those elected as national chair or other top positions in a political party, do not have inherent notability per Wikipedia's notability standards for politicians/political figures. Significant coverage in reliable independent sources is needed to establish notability, and it is sorely lacking here Sal2100 (talk) 21:04, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
