Fails WP:BASIC: no significant coverage can be found in any independent secondary sources.

Almost all references are to articles published by the subject himself, the only independent sources merely give him a passing mention alongside 9 others. Doesn't qualify for WP:POLITICIAN. ninety:one 11:11, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. None of its sources make it pass WP:GNG, and I failed to find better ones. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 13:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being chair of a political party's youth committee is not an automatic notability freebie under WP:NPOL, and the sources are not getting him over WP:GNG in lieu. You make a person notable for something like this by showing that he's been the subject of media coverage written by other people, not by showing that he's been the author of media coverage about other things.

Delete. Being chair of the Young Fabians is not what it used to be. Bearian (talk) 20:28, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
