• Delete - We already have ' anti-Hindu sentiment', which discusses various controversies about the faith tradition. We don't need to redo that. This article here has multiple problems, as stated above, and overall doesn't seem worth keeping. The formatting itself ('myths about/of _____') is something that we generally don't consider encyclopedic anyways, I think. We don't have, for instance, ' myths about Wikipedia'.

• Strong delete It looks like a hoax, swims and quacks like a hoax to me. The external link links to a parked domain (a Wayback snapshot from 2007 shows it is a forum and nothing to do with a magazine), the native name returns nothing relevant from search results, the names of the editor and publisher also return only Wikipedia mirrors, and the ISSN link returns a 404. The article was created in 2007, and it seems that the only people who have added substiantial content to it are SPAs. Even if this supposed publication somehow exists, there is no indicator of notability. - CHAMPION ^{( talk) ( contributions) ( logs)} 22:47, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

The article is unreferenced, and I can't find any corroborating information either at the enWiki page for the league that the team supposedly plays in or on idWiki. Searching online, I was only able to find results about Badak Lampung F.C., which is a different team. I'm honestly a bit uncertain about what to do at this juncture: I can't find evidence that this subject is notable, it doesn't seem appropriate to redirect to Liga 3 (Indonesia) as there's no mention of the team there, and redirecting to Badak Lampung may be inappropriate if there really is a real team named Lampung F. C. As a result, deletion may be the best possible option available to us if we can't find reliable sources covering the subject. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:02, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• I'm unfortunately fine with a delete result - the Liga 3 is provincial and there are a number of similar teams. It's not impossible they're notable, but it's an extremely difficult search. SportingFlyer T· C 02:30, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• I think it's probably notable, but there's not enough sources yet to satisfy this. Maybe a relist? SportingFlyer T· C 03:23, 19 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete This is very confusing. The article says that this team was formerly called "PSBL Bandar Lampung", but PSBL Bandar Lampung has its own page and still exists [1] (Yeah, the website is really called "Lampost", presumably acronym of "Lampung Post"). And a template on idWiki lists them as different teams [2]. And finally, there's Badak Lampung F.C., which plays in the second league and is thus more notable and gets more editor attention. So "Lampung F.C." seems to be a team of its own, but lacks notability, and the information on the current page about is flawed. – Austronesier ( talk) 08:40, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Add The "official site"-link is just a newsblog which mentions that "Lampung F.C." were runner-up for the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, but—alas—they didn't make it [3]. That was their 15 minutes of fame, and the article was created more or less at that time. – Austronesier ( talk) 08:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Comment Lampung F.C. was runner-up of the 2013 Indonesian Premier Division (LPIS), which was a dualism and unofficial version of Indonesia Premier Division. And I found it funny that Lampung FC is redirected to Badak Lampung F.C. which is no connection between both teams. Lampung FC wasn't part of PSSI in 2014 but joined in Liga 3 Lampung in 2017. And it's different with PSBL. Wira rhea ( talk) 05:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 16:51, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep - They were the top team in the second tier in 2013, and went on the final in the play-offs. This would have made them arguably one of the best non-fully professional teams in the country. Their players might not be quite notable - but how is the team not notable? This was extensively reported in the media at the time example. At the risk of "other things" the other 20 teams that played in tier 2 that season all have articles. A separate question is if this is the same team as PSBL Bandar Lampung - and if so one the articles should redirect to the other. Nfitz ( talk) 21:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

I can't access the It's about that Time book, but all it sources in the article is the sentence "On the record, it is wrongly attributed to Miles Davis". The relevant criteria here are WP:NSONG – in particular, "a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album". Unless more information can be sourced, a redirect to / merge with Live-Evil (Miles Davis album) is therefore appropriate. EddieHugh ( talk) 17:37, 17 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Comment This and similar articles are not encyclopaedically written but I think their notability is open to debate. We regard all bishops of major Christian denominations as notable, but I don’t think we have clear guidelines for Islam. There’s a case that the head of a tariqa in a country is automatically notable. I’m not !voting on this one but would be interested in working with some editors in drafting some notability guidelines for Muslim bios. Please leave a note on my talk page if you’re interested.

• Keep -- best to approximate WP:NBISHOP for Islam until other standards can be developed.-- Epiphyllumlover ( talk) 20:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Even NBISHOP (which is an essay, not a policy) requires "significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources". The article has been AfD's because of lack of such sources. Moreover, a high-ranking official of the Catholic Church usually is, I am sorry to say, of a different calibre than a village "holy man", hardly known beyond the nearest town, and mostly just a name in the religious lineage that each and every South Asian sect must compulsorily offer for its faithful. For Shah Sulaimān Nūri, do you see any real information other than the fact that he was "learned and pious" and his parents were "kind and noble"? — kashmīrī  ^TALK 10:09, 18 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• First of all, User :Kashmiri I respect your point of view about this article.I want to say that he is not just "learned and pious" or just a "kind and noble" personality.He is a historical personality in the 16th century.You can see his historical presence in the existing article, Muhammad Qadiri in the title of "Golden Chain".so he was not just a noble and learned man,he was a man with a history in Qadiriyya silsila.While the fact that he is hardly known beyond the nearest town is totally baseless.Why would someone from 200 km or 300 km away write book on him if he is hardly known beyond the nearest town?.And in case of reliable and independent sources,you can watch the sources that these sources have no directly link with the "personality".so i just request you to reconsider your view about this article..Thank you so much.

• Keep I agree that the article requires improvement but has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources from Myanmar's biggest newspaper The Myanmar Times [8], [9], [10]. The existing source in the article can establish notability. The VMG is a major telecommunications service company in my country. The company once hold biggest telecommunications market in Myanmar and has launched a first ever licensed international Calling card, Ytalk (Once in Myanmar, Ytalk used to be more popular than Viber). When the sources are in Burmese language, it does not mean that that is not notable. If you can't read the Burmese language sources? please use the Google web-translation. Thanks "KoKoChitChit" ( talk) 05:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment "Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources" is not the full extent of the requirements to establish notability. For example, you have ignored the requirement that the article must contain "Independent Content". You provided three references:
    • The Myanmar Times reference is not significant coverage, contains no in-depth information on the company and is a run-of-the-mill piece based on a company announcement. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND.
    • This also from The Myanmar Times is based entirely on an interview with the CEO of the company, is not significant coverage and contains no in-depth information on the company. It also fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND.
    • Also from The Myanmar Times and it compares YTalk and Viber. The article like the other two is not significant coverage and contains no in-depth information on the company. It is based on a statement from the company and a statement from the head of Myanmar Posts and Telecommunications company. The reference also fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND.
  • Just because the sources are in another language doesn't mean that our policies and guidelines on establishing notability don't apply. Please read WP:NCORP. Thank you. HighKing ⁺⁺ 13:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep Easily meets WP:GNG. No compliance with WP:Before. Understanding that this is in part because of systemic bias (language) in Wikipedia. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 14:35, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Pointing out WP:BEFORE and WP:BIAS without giving any reason why it meets WP:GNG easily, is in fact a very weak and dubious rationale for keep. I seriously do not understand why you mentioned WP:BEFORE when there is already a delete !vote posted above. Now for your info, there are only 3 considerable sources available about this topic, all are included here or in the article. You could have known that if you have done WP:BEFORE before !voting. All the three sources have been analysed above by HighKing an hour before you !voted. None of the available sources is near WP:SIGCOV. WP:BIAS is an essay, not a policy, above all not a reason for a wild card entry into Wikipedia mainspace. Hitro talk 08:02, 10 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Leaning towards Delete. While the three new sources are excellent, it is still only three sources, and that to me is not exactly proof of notability. More on the cusp, potentially, for WP:CORPDEPTH? 67.243.20.177 ( talk) 18:51, 9 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Can you point to any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability for those claims? That would be very helpful. HighKing ⁺⁺ 15:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Another song title that should just be a redirect to its album, and another one that's not going to get there without a detour to AfD... the only source here that is "substantial" is a primary source, by O'Connor herself [11] (plus there is a book - also by her). The rest only ever fleetingly touches on the song [12], or is lists. Not article material. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 20:03, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Comment: I will of course stand by the result of the AfD, but as the person who restored this article and added sources, I do honestly believe that a song that was a top ten hit in two countries and sold a quarter of a million copies in one of them is far from being not notable, and that it's simply the song's age that prevents further sources from being found online – anyone who was listening to music in the UK in the early 1980s will know this is a very well known song indeed.

But that's not how we roll - for any topic. If everyone has heard about X but no one (independently, substantially) has written about it, then we do not have the basis for an article. The approach of "people have heard of it, and we'll just pull material from connected sources and scattered tidbits to fill the article" is not good encyclopedic procedure, and not accepted for any topic on WP - it's not just songs. WP:NSONG is really quite clear about that, and I wish people would check their song articles against that before putting in all the work. I don't enjoy shooting these down either :/ -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 20:50, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

I understand that, and I know that my statement is anecdotal, but the top ten hits and certification aren't. My big problem here is that Wikipedia has an enormous systemic bias towards recent songs and albums, because it's easy to find information on them online, and we will never redress this imbalance unless someone has access to print media from the past and is prepared to spend literally years sitting down and going through it to create decent articles for records from the 1980s and 1990s. Additionally, it's so easy to gain certifications nowadays through streaming (you don't even have to release the record to have it certified), almost every song released now will be considered "notable" because of this, even if they have zero content – I came across this article the other day, for example... to me, it has far less encyclopedic content than the subject of this AfD. But because it has a diamond certification, there is no chance of it being deleted at AfD, even though it tells you next to nothing about the song. Richard3120 ( talk) 21:04, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

That's so. If the material isn't online, it's much harder to create a well-sourced article. But that's a consequence of our sourcing model, and the other side of the coin of "all statements can be checked by the reader". - Re Va Bene (L'Algérino song), well that's an obvious candidate for deletion, if no more substantial coverage can be found... umpteen million views notwithstanding. In fact I'll have a check now, and if nothing comes up, to AfD it goes. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 22:09, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

I do get what you're saying, and I'm not trying to pick a fight - I've seen your contributions at AfD and page reviewing, and I'm appreciative of your work. I just think we differ in our assessment of what is likely to be notable, if the sources were readily available. I could look at Welcome Home (Peters and Lee song) and Prince Charming (Adam and the Ants song), and once I take out all the unsourced original research and poorly sourced material, all I'm left with for both songs is basically "it reached number one in the UK". The articles would be just a chart position and little else. But... they were both the third biggest-selling singles in the UK in their respective years, 1973 and 1981. Are the articles in their current state complete crap? Undoubtedly. Do I think they should be deleted because the only thing I can verify at present is their chart position? No, not really - if they were outsold by only two records that year, to me that indicates that they are probably notable, if only I had access to print sources from the time. But I don't think we are going to convince each other of our positions here. Richard3120 ( talk) 22:45, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep: The song is a Top 10 hit in UK & Ireland. I even found a couple of sources about the song: [13] and [14]. The said sources, including most of the ones stated in the article (except for her book since it's considered a primary source), make the article good enought to pass WP:NSONG. My vote stands.

We may be on opposite sides of the debate, but I'm in agreement with Elmidae here – two passing mentions of the song, one of which is simply the author saying it was playing on the radio during one event in his life, do not constitute passes of notability... I mean, "radio station plays song" is not exactly an earth-shattering event. Richard3120 ( talk) 14:55, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Ok. I'll disregard this one, a literature which merely mentions the song. I found a couple more sources which partially explain about the song: [15] and [16]. I have explained enough. And I won't reply any further as my vote stands. ASTIG😎 _{( ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 04:18, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep Hi, I was disappointed by the rejection because it was mostly motivated with bad sourcing. People who rejected my draft don't speak any Italian. Therefore, being almost all the sources in Italian, I wonder how can they judge them. Now, if there is something I need to change I will be happy to do so but the sources I have used are: a biography of Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) written by Strega Prize winner Walter Siti, who is one of the most important Italian writers alive. This biography is a book published by Rizzoli Libri one of the most important Italian publishers. Apart from the book I used as a source Corriere della Sera, la Repubblica, La Stampa and Il Giornale which are the most important Italian national news papers, very reliable and authoritative ( here you can find a list of the most the most popular daily Italian newspapers and you can check they are respectively in 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 10th position). Moreover I used Attitude (magazine), Times Higher Education, Gay Star News, Vanity Fair (magazines) ( here it says it is reliable for wikipedia) and Vice (magazine)( here it says that its reliability is not consensus ) but mostly in the "media attention" part. I also used for some details about his porn career Xbiz ( here it says it is reliable for wikipedia). Finally, I gave the link to the segment of the tv show where he asked his partner to marry him. Every single article I cite here is entirely on Carlo Masi (Ruggero Freddi) apart from the review of theater show he did, but even there his name is in bold and he is the main character. I didn't use anything reported to be an unreliable source but something might have slipped in. Please, give a look to other gay porn stars bios here on wikipedia and tell me if this one I wrote is not way better. Someone questioned about his notability, if after having read this biography you are not convinced about his notability I will feed you with more info.

  • He was an exclusive model for what was considered the most prestigious company on the market Colt Studio Group, not only that, he was the main actor of the company. Supporting this there are three major facts: first he is the only one ever named Colt Man Emeritus, second he is the one chosen as the cover man for the 40th year anniversary book of the company and third, even if he retired almost 10 years ago, in the model section of the company's web site he is still the most popular(here is the link: https://www.coltstudiogroup.com/models) . If that is not enough, how many gay porn actor do you think were famous enough to make tour across USA, Mexico and Europe in clubs and discos?(this is pretty easy to be checked). Look at this page, merchandise with his pictures is still sold: https://coltstudiostore.com/search?type=product&q=carlo+masi . He is on greeting cards, fridge magnets, tens of calendars (mostly covers), shower curtains, lap top sleeves, books, notebook and consider that most of his merchandise is sold out now as, once again, he retired years ago.

As a support for his notability (before 2017 so before he become known as a porn actor who become a professor) see that he was the first and only gay porn stars ever accepted in the circuit of the national Italian tv. He was the guest star of the most important Italian tv shows. For example this video is from his FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/RuggeroFreddi/videos/253527992083794/ . It is Chiambretti Night one of the most followed Italian tv show and he was the Guest Star (he was the special guest there a few times) https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/porn-actor-carlo-masi-attends-chiambretti-night-italian-tv-news-photo/98752998, and this was 2010 so way before he became a professor. Moreover he was on National Italian newspaper when he acted in a theater piece of Beckett: la Repubblica- article, Corriere della Sera- article, La Stampa- article. these are article entirely about him not a mere mention and the articles say that he was chosen because the director was looking for a porn star as a symbol of desire.-- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 21:24, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep: I see good sourcing here. I think the news coverage on the teacher/porn actor controversy gave Masi an opportunity to participate in Italy's national debate about sexuality. The Carlo Masi article on Italian Wikipedia is even longer and more comprehensively sourced. I know that the fact that a page exists on another language Wikipedia doesn't mean it's notable on English WP, but it does support the creator's claim that the subject has been well covered in Italian media. — Toughpigs ( talk) 21:03, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete. The sourcing...is not good. Out of the present 39 refs, around 15 are to Siti's book. While Siti is a great writer, this is not a straight biography; it would be described as a novelisation of someones life. An online review [18] google translates as "After all, “ what is a true story? Does the truth-novel exist? Truth has to do with science and jurisprudence, not with literature or with life ”. Which means that the question is irrelevant: that the two stories are more or less truthful, more or less exact in recalling the unfolding of the facts, the narration is authentic, thanks to that narrative voice that allows you to trace the origin of the speech in reality outside the text, without being bound to it. It is not reality that interests the writer..." It is literature rather than biography, seems to be listed as a novel at Amazon and so not WP:RS, especially for a BLP. IMDB appears twice, and the subjects listing at the Adult Films Database (which seems to be as reliable a source as IMDB) is used as well. So half the references are to non reliable sources. Curdle ( talk) 09:56, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Siti explains in the last chapter of the book that all the facts described in the book have all actually happened. For the other "unreliable sources" it is important to see the context in which they are used, for example if they are used to prove specific fact like he was on a cover than anything that actually shows that cover will do.-- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 10:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply
    • Historical novels often have a similar note. The author himself describes the book as a novel! again, from that review "since, as the author points out in the concluding note, “it is easy to say 'true story' : if the story is told in a novel , it cannot be completely true " It doesn't mean they are WP:RS. And sources "to prove he was on the cover" need to be more than a link to the cover itself (primary source), secondary sources are what is needed to provide notability.

• Comment - # User:AlejandroLeloirRey, created this page in mainspace, which was moved to draft space by first reviewer with the reason that it's improperly sourced. # Then Second reviewer rejected the draft submission it again for the same reason. # Third time I rejected it saying subject is not notable (Obviously, even here many agree with me, that sources are not reliable+not much sign of notability as per policies and much more). by the time the creator has gone to several pages including talk pages of all the reviewers, teahouse, afc help page and asked further questions about it. Not just that as this was needed but they also raised questions on other such pornbios on the same lines on which their draft was rejected. This utter desperateness shows strong signs of COI/self promotion and I won't vote to keep it. They have made almost 94 edits on the draft and all of their other edits around 300 are on other pages to pursue others to accept this draft which makes me more negative.

• Weak delete – I have been on the fence about this one. There are a lot of sources that look very reliable on the face of it, but even so I don't think notability is met. First, the person is clearly not notable as a performer ( WP:NACTOR), second, he is clearly not notable as an academic ( WP:NPROF). So any notability will have to stem from WP:ANYBIO coverage in secondary sources, and there, I think WP:BLP1E applies – there were a flurry of newspaper reports surrounding one event as discussed in the section "Media attention", but nothing more sustained. As for the book, that clearly can't be used to verify any information given the fact that it is a fictionalised account. Even so, the fact that the person is the subject of (part of) a book is probably the strongest claim to notability – but I do not believe that that on its own makes him meet WP:GNG. -- bonadea contributions talk 17:03, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep. We don't judge why someone is notable, so long as they pass WP:GNG because of WP:SIGCOV. In this case, there is significant, ongoing coverage, in part because of the incongruity of a "porn star" becoming a math professor. WP:ODD and April Fool's Day WP:DYK are filled with such articles. As an adult actor, he was a big star in dozens of films, from a major adult film studio, and won top awards in his field (pardon the puns). As an academic, he would not normally be notable, but many academics become famous for controversy rather than publishing. His marriage/civil union was widely reported in almost every gay publication and web site. Bearian ( talk) 02:23, 21 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep, clearly there are enough sources out there to pass GNG, and these sources also clearly provide exceptional coverage as he has been covered in National News publications, not just local media. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 22:59, 14 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they have not won, but the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself a WP:GNG-based exemption from having to pass WP:NPOL — every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if that were how it worked then every candidate would always be exempted from NPOL, and NPOL itself would literally never apply to anybody at all anymore. Rather, to make a non-winning candidate for office notable enough for a Wikipedia article, he needs to pass one of two tests: either (a) he already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy, or (b) he can demonstrate a reason why his candidacy would pass the ten year test for enduring significance, such that even if he loses the election and then never accomplishes another more notable thing again as long as he lives, people will still be looking for information about him in 2030 because of the sheer lasting importance of his candidacy itself.
  Furthermore, even if he did pass either NPOL or GNG, he would still not be allowed to have an article that was written like a campaign brochure: that is, bulletpointed lists of his political opinions sourced to his self-published Twitter tweets are not support for his notability. Notability does not hinge on what the subject says, it hinges on what the subject accomplishes. But of the 34 footnotes here, 18 are tweets, three are to his own self-published website about his own campaign, four are other primary sources like other people's or organizations' self-published websites, three are to raw tables of election results, one is a YouTube video and one is a user-generated personal essay on Medium.com — which means 30 of the 34 footnotes are not reliable or notability-supporting sources at all, and the four that are left aren't enough to make his candidacy more special than everybody else's candidacies. Even Gaelan's 12 sources above still aren't enough to make his candidacy more special than everybody else's candidacies, because every other candidate can always also show 12 sources.
  As always, Wikipedia's job is not to maintain an article about everybody whose name happens to show up in the current news cycle — we consider the enduring significance of our article subjects, not just their temporary newsiness, and simply running as a candidate in an election the person has not won is not automatically a mark of enduring significance in and of itself. Bearcat ( talk) 20:35, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  Bearcat: I have several issues with this argument.

  First, as best I can tell, your argument has little basis in policy. NPOL explicitly allows for candidates to get articles if they pass GNG, and GNG has no requirement that the subject has an unusual amount of coverage or anything like that.

  However, the amount of coverage here is pretty exceptional. Unusually for a House candidate, he's received extensive coverage in the national media. The reason for this—which also forms a pretty good argument for the 10 year test, IMO—is in the headline of the Intercept article: NANCY PELOSI TO RECEIVE FIRST GENUINE LEFT-WING CHALLENGE IN 30 YEARS. This is one of the most important figures in US politics, who has been considered untouchable for 30 years, receiving a credible challenge. In 10 years, Buttar will either be notable because he won (and served as an example of the Democratic party's shift into the "AOC era") or lost, and served to demonstrate the limits of that shift. The fact that candidacy got to this point—a general election challenge—is notable.

  Finally, the state of the article now is not a notability argument. I completely agree that the current citations aren't great, but that's why I found a bunch more sources! And sure, every candidate can find 12 sources. But in the national media? I'm pretty sure that's unusual. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 23:37, 15 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Firstly, the understanding and interpretation of policies is debated and disputed all the time on here. So it isn't just a matter of reading the letter of a policy statement — you also have to familiarize yourself with established consensus around how the policies are applied in actual practice when they come up for debate in similar situations. And the established consensus is as I described: every candidate in every election can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, and thus every candidate in every election can always claim that they have passed GNG and are therefore exempted from having to satisfy NPOL at all — so we have an established consensus that the existence of some campaign coverage is not in and of itself enough, precisely because our established consensus that candidates are not all notable enough for articles on here would be inherently meaningless if every candidate could always exempt themselves from it.
  GNG is not simply a matter of counting up the footnotes and keeping anybody who technically meets or exceeds an arbitrary number of them: GNG is also a matter of testing for the context of what the person is getting covered for, and treating some contexts as less notability-making than other contexts. A person with just one or two media hits can pass GNG if those hits are verifying that the person has accomplished something we deem "inherently" notable, and a person with 15 or 20 media hits can fail GNG if those hits all exist in contexts that are not accepted as "inherently" notable. For instance, if a person wins election to an NPOL-passing office, then you get to start the article as soon as one source can be added to verify that they won the election, and it will be kept on that basis even though it still needs significant improvement before it can actually be considered a good article — but a person who has merely been a non-winning candidate for office, or a holder of a minor local office (such as a smalltown municipal councillor) that is not accepted as a notable one, can still fall below the notability bar even with sourcing that numbers well into the double digits, if they cannot show strong evidence that they're markedly more special than the tens or hundreds of thousands of other people who've done the same thing. Similarly, we also have a rule called WP:BLP1E, whereby people who receive a blip of media coverage in the context of a specific event, but cannot show any enduring notability outside that specific event, are not automatically entitled to keep articles just because they've technically passed an arbitrary number of media hits.
  As I said before, we consider the enduring notability of our article topics, not just their current newsiness: making a candidate notable enough for a Wikipedia article is not simply a matter of showing that his name exists in the current news cycle, it is a matter of demonstrating that his candidacy would pass the ten year test for enduring importance. Basically, if you can't show that he had preexisting notability for another reason that would already have gotten him an article anyway, then the test he has to pass is not just a reason why he might be of interest to some people today, but a credible and convincing reason why an article about him will still be necessary in 2030.

First off, congratulations on winning the “Wall of Text award for unnecessary explanation”. Secondly, BLP1E cannot be invoked here because the coverage identified was published months apart, clearly not just in the course of one news cycle. And also, there was clearly an argument set out that you just ignored completely that the nature of this coverage would cause this person to pass the 10-year rule. Your position inexplicably seems to be that being just a candidate for office automatically disqualifies someone from having a Wikipedia page, which is ridiculous. Devonian Wombat ( talk) 21:30, 16 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Firstly, I didn't say BLP1E has anything to do with this — I raised BLP1E as an example of why just counting the footnotes for their number is not an automatic GNG-maker in and of itself. It's merely one example of how our policies explicitly state that the number of media hits the person can show counts for a lot less toward the notability race than the context of what the person is getting covered for does. And secondly, any notability claim that boils down in its essence to "first person with X characteristic to do a not inherently notable thing" is not in and of itself a WP:10YT-passing notability claim. Being an incumbent officeholder's "first left-wing challenger in Y amount of time" is not, in and of itself, a reason why any significant number of people would still remember his name in 2030, even if he loses the race he's running in. Being an incumbent politician's "first left-wing challenger" is not inherently important or enduringly noteworthy in and of itself. Bearcat ( talk) 14:16, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• @ Bearcat:

  then the test he has to pass is not just a reason why he might be of interest to some people today, but a credible and convincing reason why an article about him will still be necessary in 2030

  In case you missed it, I made a case for this in the comment you replied to. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 19:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• And in case you missed it, that case was not a convincing one. Bearcat ( talk) 14:19, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  @ Bearcat: Sorry if I came across as sarcastic in my reply—I just wanted to make sure my argument went unaddressed. That being said, your reply feels pretty close to violating WP:CIVIL. Gaelan 💬 ✏️ 22:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete -- per the other arguments for its deletion. Also, that has to be the most pointless infobox I have ever had the misfortune to see, and I have seen a few in my time. Cassianto ^Talk 07:31, 19 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep individual seems both notable for his role in challenging the incumbant to the seat and his previous work in the private sector. additionally article is still underconscruction by other editors i believe. Epluribusunumyall ( talk) 21:39, 19 April 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete Unelected candidates (even those who challenge the incumbent Speaker of the US House of Representatives) do not pass WP:NPOL. The best case for meeting WP:GNG are the articles in Salon and the Hill. However, our standard for keeping unelected candidates is the campaign coverage needs to rise to the level of Christine O'Donnell or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (after she won the Democratic primary). In both of these cases, the candidate became commonly known nationally and internationally. In addition, this page currently reads like a campaign brochure - which is not the purpose of this project. -- Enos733 ( talk) 04:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete per WP:SOAP and WP:SPAM; accord Bearcat and Cassianto. This was deleted less than two years ago, and other than running yet again, there's no new evidence of notability. In 2020, everybody knows we are not Ballotpedia, nor a resume host; we are a charity and a general encyclopedia. Lots of people run for public office, as I did, and even get local coverage.
