Non notable attorney, has served several non notable student government positions and run for local office. I tagged this as an IP, and am now nominating for deletion, as the article's creator, a WP:SPA, has removed the prod. JNW (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Particularly not satisfying WP:POLITICIAN and nothing else because of the fact he's only a Student member of the group and then only a "hopeful" for a local mayorship, none of which are enough for his own notability and there's no automatic bestowment of notability because of the events themselves. Also, then simply being a "hopeful" for Senate is not enough to satisfy notability as a politician, hence all of this is simply too soon in his current political career.

 * Delete. Unable to find any evidence of notability. The Crazed Beast (talk) 03:44, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is about a real political candidate in Louisiana (he ran for mayor; youngest candidate). Also, this person was elected as the first-ever white student President at a historically black college (Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) in a state where race relations are a very real and relevant issue. This article sheds positive light on this issue and an individual who successfully demonstrated the bridging of the gap between people of different races in a Southern state. People will want to search for something/someone like this.--PelicanP (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see that you're the creator of the article. Question: are you also the SUBJECT of the article? Exemplo347 (talk) 22:16, 4 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not notable, unimportant election candidate that lost. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:13, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obvious signs of notability present. Louisiana politician/attorney. Loss of election irrelevant. Accomplishment at histocially black college clearly remarkable. Clearly on the rise and relevant to Louisiana political landsclear. People would search for this despite its localization to Louisiana. Represented over 200,000 people statewide....kind of a big deal, i.e. notability clear. --Tarzany (talk) 21:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Please understand that AfD is not a vote. The quantity of accounts that sign up to add comments here does not sway the argument. Please reconsider your actions. To the closer: This account was created today and its only edits are to this AfD. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Too soon.  The accomplishments (which are impressive) don't quite meet the standard of notability, which IMO require notability, irrespective of the subject's worth. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:25, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
