https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Media_on_Ram_Bahadur_Bomjon.27s_controversies My talk page isn't the proper place to make the case to keep an article when there is an AFD. I would ask that the closer take it into account. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:27, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Robert McClenon, this new user (first registered edit 10 Aug) was unaware how to find this AfD entry page. He asked me on my talk page as well and I have now forwarded him a link to this page. Loopy30 (talk) 13:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"There's no reason for such extensive coverage", Timtempleton writes. What is the source for those words? I would say that, on the contrary, there is ample reason for this article because Mr Bomjan is at the center of a rather dangerous cult. [Would be] Followers looking him up will mostly find propaganda produced by Bomjan's adepts and little that will help them to move away from Bomjan and regain their independence. So, this Wiki entry is a rare, easy to find and useful resource for these souls. Deleting this article will help the inner circle of the adepts and Mr Bomjan himself, not those trying to research him and find reasons to severe their links with him. --Mathilde2009 (talk) 17:23, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm deferring to
WP:CRITS which says to avoid articles or sections just on controversies. It can be kept balanced, but in this case this info can be dramatically condensed and merged. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 16:14, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • Comment @Mathilde2009: All the more reason to move the controversial information to the article itself. If the main article shows both points of view, weighted appropriately, all readers can decide for themselves and they will not be unduly swayed by either the positive-spin main article or a the negative-spin controversy article. Cthomas3 (talk) 04:52, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Condense and merge as per Jeff G. ツ if I have a right to vote about my own article (please advise). I am sorry to come late here, I was not able to find this link (Thank you again, Loopy30!). Reading your suggestions, I can agree with merging. I also took to my heart what Robert McClenon complained about, that it is too long. I think partly because - to enable quick search for references - I made each media entry as a single subtitle. This created an endless List of contents. I still consider these rather formal and cosmetic problems and can be solved easily. Someone above mentioned that same events had been mentioned repeatedly. That was my intention, so that there is proof from at least two independent sources that the event really happened. Please advise me what is the priority between the two approaches (shortness of final text versus reliable information from different sources)? TimTempleton and others suggested merging with the main article. I think it could be done in a way that the first descriptive part could go to the main article, and a "dry" list of the medias could make a new article of the type of "List of...". I have no problem to elaborate a list of "positive links" in the same format to have them all in one "List of" page. But in this particular case, I am afraid, mentioning just one or two links from the long list of sources about his controversies would not be reliable enough to positively prejudiced seekers for information, because this is an area full of mystification and there are claims the media had conspired against Ram Bomjon. I totally agree with the logic of Jeff G. about the importance of seeing the proportions between negative and positive information. I also agree with Jeff G. "the tags that claims are not in the refs are worrisome" in the main article. DarkAges 11:02, 23 August 2017 (UTC)KaliageDarkAges 11:02, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Also Mathilde2009, thank you to bring to the attention the need for reliable sources for those who really need them. It could even save some people to become his new victims, I am confident, because the drastic SEO of the propaganda pages about this person pushed out the critical articles from searches. Let me just add what I wrote to Robert McClenon, that because the article has in its title that it is about media and the controversies they cover, it is containing much more links supporting a negative image than a positive one. The article is not a biography or a general overview. But still it has many links to the main article and links to the cult's organization, their literature etc. - I counted, after latest editing, more than 26 links which belong to the "positive image" part. Which POV Fork would do that...? I also noted to Robert that not a single sentence is without reference to media sources. I think most opinions about POV Fork, WP:OR or WP:UNDUE are caused by not clicking on the links and not checking the reliability of quotes and claims from the references. I think anyone who have stayed Nepal or reads about it, or experts in Buddhism, recognize easily the notability of the article topic.

  • Delete per
    WP:NOTWEBHOST. Even if this was not so close to bollocks because of how badly it's written, I would still delete it as . Bearian (talk) 16:03, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Comment Don't bite newcomers @Bearian:. If the article is badly written, it can be improved, isn't it? Try to rewrite it, but why do you want to throw away a precise work in a good intention to provide a balanced picture? First look at the main article, and if that you find well written, impartial, neutral and well sourced, fair enough. Yet then cult propaganda and irrational statements with no other proofs than their own blogs will be regarded as Wikipedia standard, and serious works based on multiple mainstream media sources as "badly written". Also, the main article's biography stops somewhere in 2010, with a jump to 2012 mentioning one controversy in a single sentence. I disagree with you Bearian, as I am not pushing any opinion, I do not need to push anything, it is pushing itself to your eyes if you read those sources, check out the photos and news links, for example the Image TV channel showing his bloodied victims. One photo to an article in the Prateek Daily shows his own mother at the local police station reporting her son for keeping her and other 4 siblings hostage for five days, beating them and kidnapping the youngest daughter: do I need to push anything about this one? I only collected the sources, and put them on display alongside the "positive image" ones (more than 20 of these), if you care to read and distinguish them from each other. I could have just listed the links and not add descriptive text, yes, but then those unfamiliar with how things were evolving over the years, would not understand how it is that there were (seemingly) no (searchable) news for ten years, or why we find the controversies only in archives now: so I added the descriptive first part to explain the reason for uneven media coverage. ... However, the main article intentionally left out the most drastic controversies and mentioned only three, and only in two lines, and had not been updated by the latest interview where the follower actually admits Bomjon had hands in the death of his sister (Setopati). Can you put on a balance the two things? What is more important about a celebrated religious leader? Information (from mainstream media) about people being kidnapped, beaten to blood and (apparently) even killed, or a holy legend about the length of his hair and whiteness of his robe, and claims of inedia without any proof? As Jeff pointed out above, proportion should be kept. Thanks for thinking twice. This comment is reduced, the full version is on my User Talk page.

I completely agree with you, Kaliage. And to Bearian: If "pushing a point of view in violation of our charitable charter" is a problem, then why not delete the mostly hagiographic main article about Bomjan? This is not a rhetorical question. In the meantime I agree with Kaliage that there is no need to push the subject matter of this article because it pushes itself when you follow the links given. --Mathilde2009 (talk) 08:58, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment to South Nashua It would be more constructive to give reasons, South Nashua. Articles solely focusing on controversies are many on Wikipedia. If there can be published controversies about Mrs. Clinton or Buddhism openly, or about totally unknown figures like Bulssy Jaybyeon (have anyone heard about him?) why not about a Nepalese religious leader with organization branches in the US, Japan and Europe? Any scientific reasons for such selectiveness...?Thanks.DarkAges 15:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC)KaliageDarkAges 15:33, 23 August 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaliage (talkcontribs)
  • Comment @Kaliage:Sure, happy to elaborate. There are few links in there that meet RS on a few of the controversies in the main article that can't hurt to be added (i.e. - the incident with the Slovakian). Also, a courteous tip, it's common practice on Wikipedia to use four tildes after each comment in non-article space and you also might want to use the ping template if you're talking directly to another person in a discussion. South Nashua (talk) 21:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @South Nashua: As Jeff G. ツ pointed out, and also this Wikipedia page, the proportion of what is more in reliable sources (not on Google or cult-based sources), "admiration" or criticism, should be mirrored in the article. The main article has not kept faithful to that proportion. It deals with romantic mystifications, while the mainstream Nepalese media (which that author forgot to mention at all) had been describing over more than ten years a series of rather criminal deeds. So if you just add a few links from my article to the main one, without changing its whole structure, you will not mirror the true picture. Moreoever, don't know if you really read these things, but actually the link about the Slovakian had already been there, in the main article (in one sentence). So I am confident that there is also a need to show that his controversial actions are not just occassional "mistakes" but a regular pattern on a nearly yearly basis(a few lines down I show you why), and if you count, those victims are more than a dozen. Can you just satisfy a ten years long media coverage of his criminal deeds (totally ignored in the main article!) with adding a few other media links to the main article? The rest of my comment is on my User Talk page, not to fill the space here so much. DarkAges 14:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)KaliageDarkAges 14:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

John is one of the most important political activists in venezuela currently, as you can see from his hundreds of thousands of followers, verified accounts on facebook and twitter and millions of video plays, but besides that, his sporting success itself is enough to mark him as relevant for a wikipedia page, he was the first football freestyler to ever carry the olympic torch and he established the first ever freestyle football academy in venezuela besides winning several national and international competitions, furthermore, this seems like a censorship attempt as if you go into user "Jamez42" page you can see he is involved in venezuelan politics as he has changed several articles relating to venezuelan political figures such as Henrique Capriles, John had his youtube account suspended due to a targeted attack by youtubers "Danna alquati" who has 300 thousand subscribers and "La divaza" who has over 2 million, and is constantly getting temporary bans due to how controversial he is, this is nothing more than another attack. Do Not delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.97.191 (talk) 23:04, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: The personal attack of an IP that started editing minutes after I nominated the article for deletion only confirms my suspicions and highlights the importance of a creation semiprotection. Notability of biographies are not proven by followers or verified accounts, but by accomplishments. If John has previously had several temporary bans in Youtube it makes me wonder if there are any other reasons besides "being controversial". --]
Response to explanation: Carrying the Olympic torch (while a very cool thing) is unfortunately not notable unless there is something that sets them apart from the nearly 200,000 other torchbearers throughout the various Olympic Games (like actually getting to light the cauldron itself). Number of social media followers or YouTube views are similarly not a gauge of notability (see
WP:NFRIENDS). If he is indeed as important an activist as you claim, there should be a substantial independent news coverage of him somewhere; I personally am not finding it. Can you point us toward some? It is possible that I am not seeing Venezuelan news in my searches, so if there are some reliable sources out there, please list them.

Response to explanation:

Hi, while I understand Jamez's arguments, he needs to understand that John is from Venezuela, a country that has one of the most censored media in the world, most of the articles speaking about John's accomplishments as an athlete from Venezuelan outlets have been either deleted or the websites are no longer active due to the government having closed them (Such as NTN24), and from 2013 onwards John was blacklisted by the Venezuelan government so was obviously cut off from media access in the country, however, there are many many tv interviews of his on youtube, but I take it you dont accept videos? (If you do let me know and I will gladly make a list), besides that, there are countless pictures and videos of him carrying the torch, plus, here is the official UK embassy in Venezuela mentioning him for having carried it https://twitter.com/UKinVenezuela/status/214343370733142016 he was the last of 3 Venezuelans to carry it and since he wasnt part of a federated sport most outlets didnt find out he carried it until after he had returned to Venezuela, he explained this in one of his interviews for state run VTV (one of the biggest tv networks in the country) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG7VXwZjVSQ, there are also interviews of his in american outlets such as infowars, https://www.infowars.com/man-escapes-socialist-venezuela-backs-trump/ however I take it you wont accept a source from that site? I find it hard to understand how you can decide to delete an article due to something that is out of the persons hands (such as sources being deleted), even though there is an archive of media interviews of his in video format and on social media there are countless examples of his relevance. He is not the most famous venezuelan political figure by any means, but he is ceirtainly noteworthy to the point of being included in wikipedia.

  • Response(
    talk) What you are not taking in to account is that none of the articles you sent for either Laura nor Willy are even 1 year old, while John retired from freestyle at the end of 2012, and as you are aware being venezuelan, from 2012 till today many media outlets have been closed down and many others simply dont keep such long records of articles posted, which is why several of John's refferences listed in his wikipedia page are now unavailable, but as mentioned the videos are still there, including tv interviews with hundreds of thousands of views for one of the biggest networks in Colombia, RCN, https://www.facebook.com/AcquavivaFS/videos/10154360228121360/ so trying to compare Willy who became relevant only in the past 3 months and whos likelyhood of remaining relevant within a year are slim to none, or Laura, who managed to break a female world record (so not even the open record which was more than 3 times the amount she managed to break), but besides that is largely irrelevant as she has no influence in social media and is not much more than just an event promoter, doing a few minutes of search on social media will show you that John has been attacked by both the government and the oposition due to his opinions about them both, because of this he has been No-platformed from Venezuelan media time and time again, likewise with groups such as "Movimiento nacionalista Orden" who even though they are the fastest growing non MUD political movement currently they still never get invited on to any shows other than on tiny networks once or twice, I would find it hard to believe that there are many freestylers such as John Farnworth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Farnworth or Victor Rubilar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Rubilar whos main accomplishments are breaking some world records who are allowed on wikipedia, yet someone with the trajectory accross sports and now politics that John has is found to be irrelevant, so it leads me to believe that as has been said previously, this is another targetted attack on John, in his previous AFD you can even see that the person who put the article up for deletion went to twitter to brag about it saying that he was going to get Acquaviva kicked off wikipedia, which led the article to be given protection due to vandalism back then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:1202:AE00:747A:77:1E3B:D3DE (talk) 11:58, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Dimitris Kakalidis is not notable neither as a writer/poet, nor as a scientist/thinker. The article is purely promotional, and lacks evidence proving Kakalidis' notability from third-party, independent, and reliable sources. "Omilos Eksipiretiton" is a legal entity created by Kakalidis himself in order to promote his "work"; see references of "Omilos" to the so-called "Great Master", "poet and philosopher Dimitris Kakalidis". On the other hand, all of Kakalidis books have been published by "Omilos", they are self-publications, since "Megas Seirios" is the printing house of "Omilos". The videos in the references are productions of "Omilos" ("νέα σειρά εκπομπών από τον Όμιλο Εξυπηρετητών" = a new series of videos by "Omilos Eksipiretiton", as noted on the Youtube Channel) The only source that seems to be independent and reliable is the article by Fevronia Christodoulidi and Paraskevi Kostopetrou. But it is not! Kostopetrou is Head of Megas Seirios Publications, while Fevronia Christodoulidi is a member of the "Omilos" too.

Don't be fooled by the apparatus (the plethora of wikilinks and the massive infobox): this is not a notable person. Lenard was a parish commissioner (not something that generates inherent or other notability), wrote a few books (none of which seemed to have been published by a notable publishing house, or received any decent coverage), and served on a party committee (as one of 144). The most important claim, that he was "a pioneer in the establishment of the two-party system in his native Louisiana" (which, embarrassingly, made it to our front page), is in no way verified: it is typical Billy Hathorn-style puffery, turning local people into national heroes.

Something about a seminar (from 1961). Basically, there are newspaper articles about him from 1955 to 2001 at least, not always huge coverage but more than just run-of-the-mill local politician coverage (somewhat unfortunately because I really don't like "Confederacy is great!" people).

the company he cofounded is notable--he is not. The material here is inappropriate for an encyclopedia--his parents' accomplishments , his amateur athletics, his girlfriend. The sources are trivial gossip notes. DGG ( talk ) 10:14, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • The definition of an encyclopedia is 'giving information on many subjects or on many aspects of one subject' this is what I've done. Perhaps the subject matter doesn't interest you but he's been documented heavily around his 'amatuer athletic' achivements and charitable donations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddiebaron (talkcontribs) 13:45, 10 August 2017 (UTC) Eddiebaron (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Redirect to
    WP:NATHLETE for that. I definitely think he's more notable than his partner Olivia arben, an article on whom by the same editor I speedied, and we can reconsider this in future if his subsequent career gets more attention, but right now as Sportlobster seems to be notable a redirect seems best. The author says he is a friend of the subject and this article is clearly the result of some thought so I'm sorry about this, but this isn't right for us at the moment. (Just to explain to the page creator - all of this material e.g. family background could be appropriate if this person was already notable - but it’s not enough for us to take an article on by itself, especially if it’s from your own knowledge of your friend and not from published material.)

    • Err, what do you mean? Which of the listed publication venues do you consider to be particularly significant? Among the publications listed, the journals where they appeared are quite ordinary or low ranked in math. E.g. from the 310 math journals listed in JCR with an impact factor, Journal of Algebra is ranked 168; International Journal of Algebra and Computation, and Comptes rendus are tied for rank 257. Communication in Algebra does not (as far as I can tell) have a JCR impact factor, and neither do Vestnik of St. Petersburg University and Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. These are not the kind of publication venues that are considered to be particularly significant and prestigious. Note that in relation to C1,
      WP:PROF explicitly says: Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1. Nsk92 (talk) 05:01, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

Regarding the citations -- yes, that's an individual judgement call (as I said, in my opinion, in the absence of any additional indicators, I personally do not consider citability data in this case to be strong enough, although others may disagree).

But being reasonably successful as a professor isn't (and shouldn't be) the same as being notable here, and I just don't see anything that stands out as a justification for keeping this article. And it doesn't seem like it would cause much damage to the encyclopedia to let it go; it's not like it has a lot of incoming links or anything like that. We have a lot of other articles on academics of comparable or smaller notability, but that's also not a good reason to keep this one. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:47, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Per long-standing consensus at AfD that secondary schools of confirmed notability be regarded as notable. The flip side is that all but a few elementary schools are automatically regarded as non-notable.

  • Weak Keep. That is a misunderstanding of the admittedly very confused conclusion of that RfC. Checking back, it says there is no consensus that a mere appeal to SCHOOLOUTCOMES is sufficient. It also says there is no consensus to change the almost invariable practice that such schools will be considered notable. (If you see a certain amount of contradiction here, I agree with you). In practice, even since that RfC, almost all secondary school articles for which there is proof of real existence from a third party source have been kept, just as before. What has changed is that we have reasonably enough become a little more skeptical amount those with no sourcing besides their web site. There are sources here--see the previous versions of the article history. They're not very good sources, but I think they're sufficient. I also think it would be very valuable to try to find something better. Removing what sources there are and then sayign "unsourced" is not a fair approach--rather, their adequacy should be discussed at the afd. DGG ( talk ) 05:34, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per DGG: something else the RfC found was that the systemic bias arguments were strong for maintaining the existing practice. One of our core content policies is that Wikipedia maintains a neutral point of view, and this same principle applies to coverage. There is still a clear consensus on keeping schools in North America and Europe based on the regional sources that inevitably exist per
    WP:NPOSSIBLE, which constitutes part of the notability guideline just as much as the GNG does. I personally would actually support a policy of redirecting most schools towards municipalities or school districts, but this will never happen for those schools in the West. So long as this is the case, the principles behind NPOV require us to hold schools in other parts of the world to the same standards we hold schools in the West to re:notability. That means extending them the generosity of NPOSSIBLE if they show they are likely to have independent sourcing. I think that has been demonstrated here, and thus it should be kept.

  • @TonyBallioni:--While closing a long RFC, good arguments from both sides are mentioned (typically) but what matters is ultimately what stands out over one-another--which is(??) written in the nutshell.I am sympathetic to the arguments of systemic bias but the RFC closing statement wrote--Because extant secondary schools often have reliable sources that are concentrated in print and/or local media, a deeper search than normal is needed to attempt to find these sources......If a deep search is conducted, and still comes up empty, then the school article should be deleted.I am certainly sure that those sources are the ones that SwisterTwister has brought! And, if these are the sources, we aspire for in an AfD, I can create thousands of articles on schools spread across the length and breadth of my country which are not yet covered on WP! Godric on Leave (talk) 11:07, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Winged Blades of Godric: yes, that's the point. The offline sources ST has brought forth indicate it is likely that there are other sources that would at least meet the standards we hold Western schools to, which is to be honest, still just basically existing as any local school will have plenty of coverage in regional sourcing. This argument has always been why we kept schools, and was mentioned directly in the RfC close. Letting it basically be South Asian and African schools that we delete even though per NPOSSIBLE they would likely meet our sourcing standards if we had access to local non-English print media would be inappropriate and a massive violation of NPOV. Cordless Larry, the example of one poorly attended AfD for a European school in a non-anglophone country does not negate that as a whole, we keep Western secondary schools. Try to get rid of a random George Washington High and see what happens. We should by NPOV hold them to the same standards as schools in other countries, which the arguments in favour of deletion never do. TonyBallioni (talk) 11:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh no, Cordless Larry, I know you weren't. Unfortunately our effort to clarify this with the RfC only muddied the waters. For what it's worth, I'm actually highly considering changing my vote to draftify per your argument: WP:N is only a guideline for inclusion while WP:V is a core content policy. When policies and guidelines are in tension, policies win out. I do need to consider how to balance V with NPOV re: schools, however. TonyBallioni (talk) 11:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Send back to draft because the draft was accepted despite all of its references being non-verifying. The draft author should have been told this and given the chance to provide proper sourcing. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:40, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to
    meeting notability guidelines far outweigh age-old practices/precedents as valid AfD arguments.To echo DGG I too seriously feel that the closure shall be re-ammended.I am not even minimally faulting the closers but it's close has become a new bone of contention among numerous School-AfD participants when it ought to have resolved another contention about SCHOOLOUTCOMES etc!

  • Primefac is just an editor like the rest of us, not some sort of supereditor, and the opinion of the closers has been challenged. At the end of the day, like most RfCs this was inconclusive, and its purpose (which was simply to formalise guidelines, not destroy existing consensus) was also misinterpreted. But primarily here I'm questioning Rob's pronouncement that certain opinions don't count because he and Primefac say so. Not how we do things on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:42, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There was an RfC to test whether the statement "Notability is presumed for secondary schools that verifiably exist" has consensus. That RfC was closed as "no consensus". I've double-checked that interpretation with the RfC closer, who confirmed that was the close. If you want to contest that close, see
    WP:CONSENSUS, a policy, which explains how consensus is evaluated. Do with that information what you will, but do not be surprised if a closer does what the instructions say to do and discounts rationales that are not based in policies/guidelines. ~ Rob13Talk 23:43, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. One of the sources that Swister provided (this PDF here) is a 173-page file that lists government schools in Sri Lanka as of a date in 2016. I checked the first seventeen pages and found about 350 that provide instruction up through Grade 11 (essentially, what the British call "O Level"). And those same seventeen pages show about an equal number of schools that provide instruction up through Grade 13 ("A Level"). That's about 700 schools in the first seventeen pages, suggesting that the entire document shows something on the order of 7,000 such schools. Think about that -- if existence is the only thing needed to justify an article on a secondary school, this single PDF document can serve as the basis for 7,000 articles, each article being sourced to a single line in the document. And which national/state/provincial government on the planet doesn't keep such lists? Using existence as the only criterion, we'll have well more than a million such articles, the great majority of them just one or two sentences long. Indeed, that's all it took for me to add the school's information into the article for the town in which it is located (see Talawakelle#Main schools). As for re-directing to the article on Talawakelle, doing that for every secondary school on the planet would lead to a lot more than a million re-directs, because many schools with names in non-English languages will have alternate English spellings. They say "re-directs are cheap", but are they that cheap? I think not. NewYorkActuary (talk) 21:38, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is the first I'm aware of the RfC, but reading it now, it seems pretty clear that we always keep secondary schools is no longer a valid argument. NewYorkActuary estimates, above, that there's a million secondary schoods. English-language wikipedia has about 5.5 million pages. Is anybody really arguing that something like 18% of our pages should be for secondary schools? That would be absurd. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:04, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article was created (by me) in 2007, a time when any leader of a registered federal or provincial party in Canada was automatically considered notable enough for a biographical entry. Standards have changed since then, and there's nothing to indicate that the subject passes the current threshold for notability – he never received any real depth or breadth of press coverage, and not only was he not a candidate in the one election for which he was party leader, but the party didn't field any candidates in that election and dissolved shortly thereafter. I'm still an inclusionist when it comes to ambiguous cases, but this isn't one of these; the subject pretty obviously fails

WP:NPOL, and there's absolutely no reason to believe the article can be transformed into something more credible. CJCurrie (talk) 01:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. Nominator is entirely correct that Wikipedia's notability standards for politicians have evolved in the decade since he created this — we used to automatically accept all leaders of political parties, even minor fringe ones, but in 2017 we've deprecated that, and now require that the person is actually sourceable enough to pass
    WP:GNG in his own right. But Cotton just doesn't really have that — the party failed to nominate any candidates at all in the election that occurred during his leadership, and so the depth of coverage he needs to clear GNG just isn't actually there. Including his name in the party's article, without a separate standalone bio, gives exactly the same amount of information that we can actually source properly here.
