Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN No establishment of notability. Only 1 secondary source, and it's about his election. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 04:09, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't meet WP:NPOL's presumed notability cause he hasn't been elected to state-level office (only local level), which makes it fall back upon WP:GNG and the "Major local political figures who have received WP:SIGCOV" bullet point. And there's no evidence of this either on the article or in my research - only things I could find are WP:PRIMARY bios/profiles on government pages (per WP:BIO primary sources don't establish notability), passing mentions in articles mainly about legislation and [1] which is just about him being a candidate for Mayor and based off an email he sent them.

If you're truly convinced that it might be salvageable with more work, then we do have the option of moving it to draft (or your user sandbox) as the final conclusion of this discussion. So if you want that, we can certainly do it, but we have to let the process run its course first. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes i would like to continue my work on this page as a draft and look for nobility but if i cant find any am i able to delete the draft myself? Paytonisboss (talk) 11:54, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Mayors are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to be shown to have a significant volume and depth of WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage enabling us to write a substantial article about their political impact. But this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, the only GNG-worthy source isn't enough all by itself, and per MolecularPilot there really just isn't much else out there that would count for more.

Delete I agree with you guys the nobility is not there, the sources dont have much nobility all by themself and according to primary sources theres no secondary sources to back up the primary sources and the article seems a little opinionated now that i do a 2nd look of it most of the sources are based off the opinion of the person the article is about and theres very little nobility in the guy the article is about therefore i think it needs deleted. I also beleave that the article isnt able to be supported for nobility whatsoever.Paytonisboss (talk) 12:55, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
