Does not pass the WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. Sources are hyperlocal political candidacy or passing mentions. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:12, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I added a few more references and can add more as time allows. I disagree with the hyperlocal comment. The UnHerd probably even qualifies as an international publication. Also, this doesn’t count towards actual GNG guidelines, but the page has been edited by quite a number unique users which seems by itself a modicum of notability.

The UnHerd is not reliable per RSN discussions.
That the page has been edited does not contribute to notability. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:26, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
UnHerd has been determined unreliable about politics, it has not been determined unreliable for popular culture, which is what this falls under in my opinion. Nweil (talk) 01:21, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
He's received coverage exclusively for political candidacy and edgy politics on Twitter and that doesn't fall under politics? PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:32, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
The thesis of the article is literally that about choosing shitposting (which would fall under “culture” in my opinion) over “real politics”. “Edgy politics” is something else. That’s more advocacy pushed to its limit. This is laughing at political advocacy. Anyway, I get that not everyone will share my opinions but it’s clear cut to me that is not actual politics. Nweil (talk) 01:44, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't mean it isn't political, the whole article discusses politics, whether it is "real" or not. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:48, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
My last comment is that I believe that article came out after he was already eliminated as a candidate. It’s not campaign coverage. There was no candidacy on the horizon. It’s something else. Nweil (talk) 01:50, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Have you heard of the large number of "goodbye forever" Sinatra concerts? The next campaign will come around and will use the Wiki page. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 10:15, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you think you can predict the future Nweil (talk) 15:35, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If you think he will not run, you are also in the prediction business of course. Two way street. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 18:56, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Politics is never real, it is about appearances. The same applies to his notability. He does not have it. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 10:17, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete Whichever way you look at it, a small time player. No GNG. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 16:56, 26 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
