WP:BLP of a politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The notability claims here are as a youth political organizer and as yet unelected candidate in a future election, neither of which are grounds for a Wikipedia article per se -- the notability test at NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one -- but the referencing is almost entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage about other things, which are not support for notability, and the one hit of media coverage about him winning a primary to contest the future election is not by itself enough to make him more special than all the other unelected candidates in the country who aren't getting articles on that basis.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the fall if he wins the seat, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to already get him an article now. Bearcat (talk) 13:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Most coverage I can find about him seems to be about his candidacy or him saying something. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 17:28, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Article can be reverted to AFD as there will be other requests to recreate the page a few months from now. In my view, he established notability after winning the primaries because of the circumstance around it. As he's not yet a politician, does he qualify for notability as a "regular" person Heatrave (talk) 21:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
