Not sure if this article passes WP:GNG (specifically "significant coverage"), ie whether the sources cited are non-trivial mentions of this person, so seeking the opinion of others. I don't have an opinion either way J2m5 (talk) 10:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. Subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability. Hunter region (talk) 22:17, 18 December 2023 (UTC) — Hunter region (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline." from WP:POLITICIAN. But the subject of the article doesn't satisfy WP:GNG.  Delta  space 42 (talk • contribs) 11:26, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Created by a single purpose editor so possible self promotion or promotion. LibStar (talk) 22:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:NPOL. Additionally this reads like campaign advertisement material and should be removed per WP:NOTADVERTISEMENT. TarnishedPathtalk 01:12, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a venue for self promotion or a political campaigning platform. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:08, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they didn't win — the inclusion test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one, while unelected candidates get articles only if either (a) they were already notable for other reasons that would already have gotten them into Wikipedia anyway regardless of their success or failure in the election, or (b) the article shows credible evidence that their candidacy should be seen as a special case of significantly greater notability than everybody else's candidacies. But neither of those things are in evidence here. Additionally, the existence of campaign coverage is not sufficient to claim that the candidate passes WP:GNG instead of having to be measured against NPOL — every candidate in every election always gets some campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then every candidate would get that exemption and NPOL itself would be meaningless and unenforceable. So campaign coverage still gets an unelected candidate around NPOL only if it supports one of the special conditions I outlined above. Bearcat (talk) 18:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
