Non-notable wannabe politician. TheLongTone (talk) 15:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I started the article not on the basis of being a "wannabe politician" but for being a notable public figure from an ethnic minority to try to combat racial bias on Wikipedia. Moondragon21 (talk) 15:23, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that lowering the bar for notability on the basis of ethnicity would be in any way proper or desirable.TheLongTone (talk) 15:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, well sourced article and the proposer fails to propose any grounds for questioning notability. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 16:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete people notable only for being candidates are not generally notable, and I don't see anything in the sourcing which would make me think he is a notable perennial candidate. The article is also written quite promotionally including some primary sources, even if it wasn't necessarily intended to promote him. SportingFlyer T·C 23:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with what's already been written. If over time, becomes more notable, create the page. But not ready yet for one. MaskedSinger (talk) 06:55, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Does not pass NPOL, either not winning or simply doing "office work" for the party. Non-notable as an academic. Says the person's an activist, but no sourcing to prove that. Oaktree b (talk) 15:29, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per Oaktree b. Youknowwhoistheman (talk) 14:40, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
