• Delete Since he is an unelected candidate and no other plausible claim of notabilty is made, he fails
  WP:NPOL. If someone chooses to write a neutral article about the 2018 election in New York's 11th congressional district, then a redirect is appropriate. If he wins, the article can be restored instantly. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:30, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Delete or redirect if a suitable redirect target can be found - article was originally very
  WP:PROMO, and while it was cleaned up a bit, still has the same problems as before. SportingFlyer talk 06:22, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

  United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2018#District 11 is an appropriate redirect target. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:43, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

Yes, thanks for noting this. I should have mentioned this in my nomination. Marquardtika (talk) 01:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This article is well sourced, and congressional candidates can be notable. Otherwise a redirect would be preferable to deletion. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 17:14, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to
  WP:BLP1E - with the campaign as notable. --Enos733 (talk) 16:54, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Redirect. While it's true that candidates can be notable just for being candidates in certain circumstances, those circumstances are not just "campaign coverage exists" — campaign coverage always exists for every candidate in every election, so the actual circumstances needed to make a candidate a special case over and above other candidates require a depth of coverage that goes well beyond what's simply normal and expected. But there's no compelling evidence of special status being shown here at all, neither a credible claim of preexisting notability for other reasons besides the candidacy nor a depth of coverage that marks him out as somehow more notable than most other as yet unelected candidates in the current election.

• Delete and redirect Fails
  WP:NPOL and has only received routine coverage related to his candidacy for office. No other significant coverage or claim to notability. AusLondonder (talk) 02:49, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - he's gotten lots of media attention and has a decent chance of an upset. If it's not kept, I strongly urge a redirect as we do in such cases. Bearian (talk) 00:51, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to
  United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 2018#District 11 as per usual. I can find no pre-campaign INDEPTH or WP-defined notable accomplishment .E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:50, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply
