Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Austin Petersen

Deletion/Austin Petetsen
I have put many hours in researching and learning about Wikipedia, so I could make Austin an appropriate page. Austin is certainly notable, he is constantly in either first or second place in the polls. And his competitor Gary Johnson has a campaign page. I'm a Libertarian. I am just seeking fair coverage of candidates. The Libertarian conventions are next month. We will be having our first nationally televised debate, and Austin will be on it. If there is something I can do to fix it, let me know. Thank you for your helpHezymundo (talk) 16:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC) Hezymundo (talk) 16:08, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * As an Austin Petersen supporter and former Wikipedia contributor I came to check out what was going on with his wikipedia article after seeing some comments about Johnson supporters trying to vandalize his page and get it deleted. While I unfortunately have to agree that he does not yet meet the requirements for WP:NPOL or WP:42 I believe he is getting close. I will be keeping a look at coverage and am already keeping some links such as |1, |2, and |3 to start properly rebuilding the page. After the second debate this Friday I believe there will be more independent coverage of Austin from more reliable sources as per WP:RS and I'd suggest keeping a look out for articles which are unquestionably acceptable.

 * The Libertarian Party is holding it's nominating convention next month. If Peterson loses then he will return to the life of an obscure website proprietor. Before creating another article, let's wait to see if it's even needed. Buncoshark 03:27, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you don't truly understand my point. Him winning or losing the nomination is only one part of notability per WP:NPOL and he could still be considered under WP:BASIC and general WP:GNG if he meets the criteria. I can see why people say Johnson supporters are irrationally going after his wikipedia article as it seems you are stuck on points that don't have a neutral point of view or true bearing on whether to consider the article or not, something I have seen in the many statements you have provided, so I suggest reading WP:NPOV to better understand how to apply a neutral point-of-view. Even more we aren't creating another article until he does fit the criteria of Notability in any sense as per WP:BIO or the other guidelines I posted. I also suggest reading WP:SIG so you can properly sign your posts. Acidskater (talk) 04:32, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
