Yvette Lewis (politician)

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

Does not pass WP:NPOL as she hasn't held state-wide public office, at the very least. Bedivere (talk) 21:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable state party chair, meets WP:GNG Andre🚐 22:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * This person, notable primarily as the chair of a state-level political party is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the article isn't referenced well enough to get them over WP:GNG. This is not what it takes to make a political operative notable enough for an encyclopedia article. --Bedivere (talk) 22:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you going to copy paste this response on every AFD? Nobody said it was an "automatic" pass. She barely meets WP:GNG she is a professional opera singer, and has a source for that, as well as state party chair and superdelegate with reliable sources. Andre🚐 22:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Is the nomination made on the basis her not having a state wide public office, or on the basis of notability assessments of what can be ascertained from searching in google, google scholar, google books etc? It seems like the former, is that correct?

 * Strong Keep — I count three instances of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources already. Additionally, there is qualifying coverage of Lewis in The Baltimore Banner (Dec 2022) and The Washington Post (June 2015). That brings us to five RS. She clearly passes GNG requirements.

* Keep: Passes 7th criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (politics) which says "The person founded, leads, or operates a major political party or similar electoral organisation.". ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 09:52, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Notability (politics) is an abandoned guideline proposal, NOT an official guideline or policy. Curbon7 (talk) 13:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - has - perhpas only just, but it has - in, so passes GNG. Springnuts (talk) 10:58, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
