Sagar Dhakal (politician)

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

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate in an election. As always, candidates do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates -- the notability bar for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one, while a candidate gets an article only if either (a) he can demonstrate that he already had preexisting notability for other reasons, or (b) he can show a credible reason why his candidacy should be treated as a special case of significantly greater notability than everybody else's candidacies. But this fails to demonstrate either of those things (it tries for the latter test but misses, because a candidate isn't more special for challenging Person X than they would be for challenging Person Y), and is "referenced" solely to his own campaign website.

 * Delete - badly written article. Any coverage is only brief and not significant. Doesn't meet NPOL or GNG. ProofRobust  17:34, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete one source is simply a "meet the candidates" article with a brief bio. Long way from GNG. I'm not sure what (Election symbol:syringe) is supposed to be. Oaktree b (talk) 18:00, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
