Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Tubiolo

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Note that WP:AUD currently applies only to organizations, so local coverage of a politician cannot be rejected on that basis alone; WP:NPOL is also not a requirement if WP:GNG is met. There are clearly enough sources to constitute significant coverage, so the question is whether WP:BLP1E applies. While there are numerically more "delete" !votes, they have failed to explain how consistent coverage over a period of several months can be boiled down to just one event.

Delete fails WP:NPOL and is otherwise a hyper-local politician who hasn't received any non-local coverage. SportingFlyer T·C 11:10, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete testing positive for COVID-19 and as such disrupting a local event does not make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:43, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. County council is not a level of office that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia, but the article does not demonstrate any credible reason why he could be considered substantially more notable than the norm for a not-ordinarily-notable level of political office.

Keep per WP:SIGCOV. He is the most notable politician in Westchester County aside from the County Executive as a result of COVID, he was the first to test positive. There are other legislators in the same body who have wikipedia pages not being proposed for deletion. He is also the one of the ONLY legislators to have switched political parties while in office. This article includes almost 25 sources as well. johnqarlo (talk) 13:53, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete County-level politicians are very rarely individually notable. KidAd talk 01:15, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SIGCOV. Local politicians are not normally notable, but this is a rare exception. He's gotten considerable coverage not for a single event but for two: his registration change and his Covid-19 diagnosis. FWIW, he's the local legislator for an older brother of mine and they're acquainted, although I don't know the subject. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NPOL and even with the two events the coverage is very localized (nothing outside of Westchester) and honestly aren't particularly "major" events as "X Politician tests positive for COVID" is now somewhat of a routine story nowadays.

Keep per WP:SIGCOV. This local politician is notable. He's gotten much coverage not for a single event over his COVID diagnosis and one of the few elected officials in New York State to change parties.

Keep agree per Bearian. VocalIndia (talk) 06:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, local politician who, and that includes covid-19, has gotten trivial and non-significant coverage. Geschichte (talk) 08:38, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to being a local politician that doesn't have the significant coverage needed to pass WP:GNG. Not that they would pass WP:NPOL anyway though. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:30, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
