• Comment Not that it's terribly relevant, but one ref was: <ref>Every White person in America should read this book! Sunny Nash writes the story of her childhood without preaching or ranting but she made me realize for the first time just how much skin color changes how one experiences the world. When she was just three years old her grandmother taught her how to read 'colored' and 'white only' because that was a survival skill just as important as 'Don't get in a car with strangers.' The book is remarkable. I was taught, and I teach, that skin color doesn't matter anymore than hair color. But, if your skin color is brown, it matters a great deal to a great number of people. I needed to learn that, Sunny Nash is a great teacher. By Robin (fruble@usc.edu) on October 8, 1998</ref>

• Keep but not so fast... Library Journal, School Library Journal (YA lit), and even to some extent Publishers Weekly are trade publications for librarians. Their reviews are short (51-250 words), largely indiscriminate (they help librarians determine which books to purchase, not just the most important ones), and largely unhelpful for purposes of building an encyclopedia article that does justice to the topic (the general notability guideline). (I have the 1997 print Book Review Index in front of me. It only lists those three trade publications and no other periodicals, indicating a minor release.) This said, the reviews from Mississippi Quarterly, The Western Journal of Black Studies[1], and the Los Angeles Times are together sufficient as a baseline. And if not, we should be looking for a merge target rather than outright deletion.  czar 21:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, yep pw, lj, and slj are "tradies", but nbook and gng do not specifically preclude trade reviews/journals aimed at libraries/librarians, nor do they preclude reviews from scientific journals on science books, military journals reviewing military history books, art journals reviewing artists and their works, as long as they are independent of the author and not too "niche" they are useable, of course with a review or two from non-trade publications notability with a book like this one is pretty clear. Coolabahapple (talk) 03:33, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No issue with journals in niche fields, but a book trade journal designed to cover books in volume isn't good evidence of a book's notability. That's why the outside, lengthier treatments are needed to actually cover the book in reasonable depth, or there wouldn't be enough content to write an article. I commented not because this specific book's case isn't clear but for the precedent in future discussions. czar 04:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Options for the redirect are Terra nullius and Croatia–Serbia border dispute. I'd suggest the latter, as it's a good article, and it's where the other non-notable micronation, Enclava, now redirects to (having previously been pointed to the Terra nullius article section[6]).

This article was created initially to note the novelty of a small town electing a cat as its mayor. Further developments have demonstrated that cat was never actually never selected as the town's mayor by any process, electoral or otherwise. It is apparently just a term of endearment extended by the citizenry. It's difficult to find the proper reason for deletion, as this cat is so incredibly unworthy of an article. One editor had suggested WP:1E, but even this suggests Stubbs had a role in one event (the election?) when it fact he had a role in zero events. The totality of the story is that some townfolks in a small outpost convinced some suckers from out of town that they had elected the cat as mayor in a write-in vote. We would not have an article on the election (as it did not occur), and we surely would not have an article on the town suckering a UPI writer (who actually preceded an account of the election with "As the story goes'). Even if the election story was true, the election itself would be the article. But as the election did not occur, there is nothing remotely of encyclopedic value here. GreatCaesarsGhost (talk) 19:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Yes, it's a bit of a gag story, but there's enough coverage out there from over the years that I think it meets wp:GNG. He got a relatively decent amount of coverage over the years simply because hehe cat mayor, but it isn't local - CNN, Time, and Fox all have articles about him. I could buy WP:1E if it was just that brief spurt, but he got headlines in 2013 when he was attacked by a dog - NBC, CBS, Washington Times, and CNN all featured him. Then again in 2014 there was coverage when he "attempted" to run for US Senate. So yeah, I'd say he crossed the bar for notability. Nohomersryan (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• I object because these are all "...and finally tonight" stories predicated on allowing the (heretofore) reliable sources to reiterate a dumb gag, whose humor only persists with its veracity (i.e. "LOL, a town elected a cat mayor! How hilarious!" "Actually they didn't; he's not the mayor at all." "Oh."). A person coming across this article would be spellbound trying to understanding what exactly this cat did. I think it's fine that we created the article when an RS reported it, but once it became clear that the story was untrue, the notability disappears. Otherwise the first line should be "Stubbs was a cat who was the subject of a silly lie foolishly exacerbated by lazy editors." GreatCaesarsGhost (talk) 20:40, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:1E, WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:AREYOUKIDDINGME. I'm sorry but I don't care how broadly you construe our inclusion guidelines.

Not exactly. The fact that some in the media played along with it for laughs is really all the keep !voters have going for them to justify their arguments. I witnessed this exact same bit of Kool-Aid drinking in the last AFD I commented on, where folks evidently believe that a reliable source is determined solely by which website you found the particular source at. I address that point in greater detail below. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 05:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep. Whether or not it's a gag, the cat's notability has been proven via being discussed by a number of major publications over a number of years. As far as I'm concerned, this is a pretty cut-and-dry case. -- Kicking222 (talk) 21:48, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:BIO, "The article title should define what the article is about. If there is enough valid content to fill an article about a person, then that person's name (such as "John Doe" or "Jane Doe") would be an appropriate title. If, however, there is only enough information about one notable event related to the person, then the article should be titled specifically about that event, such as Steve Bartman incident." Pretty clear cut. Talkeetna, Alaska has everything we need to know about Stubbs.GreatCaesarsGhost (talk) 00:02, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Except that it's undue weight in that article in its present state. Look through prior discussions and you'll see that Stubbs is deemed notable because Stubbs is the subject of coverage during Wikipedia's lifetime. Stubbs is subordinate to Nagley's Store. Horace Willard Nagley, both Senior and Junior, were the subject of coverage that spans a combined total of around 80 or 90 years. Someone attempted to claim that neither Nagley could be considered notable, which I can only assume is due to the fact that the vast majority of this coverage occurred during the early to middle 20th century. Because this is after the cutoff date for expiration of copyright, and before the rise of the web and Wikipedia in particular, a Google search will only mislead anyone attempting to gauge the notability of a topic from those eras. That it's not a matter of Google-fueled systemic bias, but rather a black-and-white indication of notability or non-notability, is a rather common POV around here, and a self-serving one to boot. We're already too much of a compendium of fleeting trending topics from the past X number of years. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 06:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Again, to repeat the point, he is NOT the mayor of anything, even as a gag. The gag was that locals SAID that he was the mayor.

• Hallelujah! Strong delete – I'm the honorary Archbishop of Canterbury and the love child of Carmen Miranda and Charles Nelson Reilly, as well as the reincarnation of Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Of course, such claims have as much basis in fact as most of the "reliably sourced" nonsense found either in the article or in the sources. Anyone who would argue to keep this garbage is really saying that our ultimate purpose is to provide clickbait to a cherry-picked list of other websites, and that the agenda of said cherry-picked websites automatically becomes our agenda. I would also invoke WP:NOTNEWS, but we've obviously become so much of a news site of late that we have editors mocking fellow editors for raising such concerns ("Of course we're a bloody newspaper"). Furthermore, this sends the message that I'm wasting my time making positive contributions to the encyclopedia when I could be engineering publicity stunts like this to game the media and hence the encyclopedia, seeing as how the inclusion bar is so low.

Upon noticing the increase in the juvenility factor coincidental with the cat's death that was coming across my watchlist, I started a discussion elsewhere about the reliability of the sources in this case, but didn't finish it before I had to leave for church. Coming back and subsequently noticing this discussion, I started over, because this venue is far more appropriate for that discussion. I won't have time to pour over everything right this moment, but I did click on the very first source, from KTUU. Here's one passage that has so many holes, one could drive the Space Shuttle through it:

As the story goes, 15 years ago several of the town residents didn't like the candidates who were running for mayor of Talkeetna, so as a joke, they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate, and he actually won.

Fortunately and thankfully, an IP left a very important clue on the article's talk page that our so-called professional and "reliable" journalists failed to notice, what with their awesome fact-checking skills and all. And this particular story was written by someone who actually lives in Alaska and has easy access to the information detailed below? Amazing...

• To mirror another comment, "As the story goes" should have been your first clue that something's rotten in Denmark, or however that expression goes. An apocryphal story suddenly becomes a reliable source merely on account of who publishes it? Again, amazing...
• "15 years ago". Lessee: KTUU published this story in 2012. 2012 minus 15 is 1997. The Alaska Division of Elections conducts elections for organizing or dissolving municipalities in Alaska. According to the relevant page on their website (see here), there was no such election in 1997, as the story strongly implies multiple times. However, there was an election in 2002. I would say that five years is quite a gap inasfar as factual accuracy is concerned. Can you tell me what you were doing five years ago today?
• In the famous words of Ron Popeil, "But wait, there's more!". Clicking on the page containing the election results disproves much of the rest of the statement. "...several of the town residents didn't like the candidates who were running for mayor of Talkeetna, so as a joke, they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs the cat as a write-in candidate, and he actually won". There are several falsehoods implied or stated here. There was a mayoral election as the IP claimed, but it may not be clear to political neophytes that the legality of that election was contingent on the passage of Proposition One. As that question failed, it rendered the rest of the results null and void. Article X, § 2 of the state constitution makes it clear that as Talkeetna is not a borough or a city, it is not a legally incorporated municipality and therefore has no legal authority to declare a mayor, despite the source implying otherwise. One would believe from this story that Talkeetna has always had a mayor and in this instance did away with the position in favor of an "honorary" mayor. Most importantly, the bulk of that statement is rendered false not only by the failure of the incorporation question, but by the results of the mayoral election which show that 392 votes were cast in the election for mayor, with 298 going to the two (presumably human) candidates on the ballot, 46 going to write-ins and 48 ballots left blank.

I'll try and go through the rest of the sources when I have a chance, but I have a strong suspicion that I will only encounter more of the same. Encouraging people to blindly parrot particular sources because you've deemed them "reliable", even when very little actual reliability is evident, is a slippery slope if I've ever seen one. This is entirely too similar to the media herds showing up down the road in Wasilla in August and September 2008. Lots of concern for going through the motions and producing by-the-numbers journalistic content, very little concern for facts or portraying the community to their audiences in a proper light. The reversal of long-standing consensus on our coverage of the subtopic of mayors of Wasilla was the result of one editor's crusade based on his personal impressions of what is and isn't notable, aided by the few editors who bothered to show up at the AFDs to back him. Armed with such "overwhelming consensus", he proceeded to eradicate any factual information about mayors of Wasilla, increasing the amount of undue weight shown towards Sarah Palin and also leaving in place all the empty content about Levi Johnston's "mayoral candidacy". There are many parallels to this situation. Johnston never filed formal candidacy paperwork and his "campaign" was almost entirely based on issuing press releases, expecting that his celebrity was all he needed to get media coverage. Even Timmy from South Park could figure out that this "reliable" coverage was barely removed from those press releases, and that none of those outlets followed up on the story, such as at anytime close to election day where actual facts about his candidacy could be more easily had. The Wikipedia editor responsible for all this cherry-picked tabloid sources in a BLP and then defended that practice at BLPN. Obviously, the community thought this was A-OK. We even had one person come to the talk page and make comments to the effect of "We all know that Johnston really didn't run for mayor. Why don't you just let these editors have their fun?". I suppose you're going to tell me that we're really not trying to kill off the encyclopedia by taking stances like this? Uh huh, sure...

• • Ok, you've disproven the fact that the cat was "mayor". But how does it relate to WP:GNG? It's not like the article doesn't mention the fact that some people think it's nothing but a stunt (admittedly it's a brief mention, but the article is pretty short anyway and could be expanded regardless). Nohomersryan (talk) 02:03, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nohomersryan: You ask how this relates to notability? As was mentioned previously, notability has to do with significant coverage in reliable sources. This has been met in this case, at least superficially. The reason I say "at least superficially" is that there's another piece of the puzzle that most everyone appears to be conveniently avoiding. Namely, what is or isn't a reliable source does not strictly boil down to which website published the source in question. There's also the matter of the existence of a fact-checking process. As I point out in some detail above, I perused one source and found it to be absolutely riddled with factual errors, thanks to the hint left by the IP on the talk page. WP:V does not mean that you pick one or more sources out of thin air and attempt to con everyone into believing that those sources equal all that needs to be said on a particular matter, and that contradictory information provided by sources which are credible but perhaps don't precisely fit the definition of tertiary sources can be categorically dismissed for that reason. That makes us out to be another media outlet which tries to copy every other media outlet in the hunt for a "good story", instead of a credible, factually accurate information resource. I went and performed some rather simple fact checking that this so-called professional journalist didn't bother with. The Division of Elections office in Anchorage is less than a mile from the KTUU studios. It wouldn't have been burdensome in the least for him or his editor to pay the office a visit and perform that fact-checking, or even staying put in their offices and phoning or e-mailing the elections office for the same information. Why wasn't this fact checking done? It's obvious to me that the facts would get in the way of a "good story", but perhaps someone has a better theory. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 05:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the enduring relevance? How does this pass NOTNEWS or the 10YT? How does this pass INDISCRIMINATE? Just because something gets news coverage does not mean it belongs in an encyclopedia. In fact most things that get in the news, don't. News coverage, which lets be blunt here, is the sole basis for any claim to notability, is not an automatic guarantee of meeting our criteria. In this instance it almost certainly fails our criteria based on the exceptions noted. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:20, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NOTNEWS and 10YT are both arguments related to recentism, which I would say don't apply here as there's been coverage stretching over several years and the article has existed for 5 years now (and it's not particularly a recent event since the cat was "honorary mayor" since 1997). Which part of WP:INDISCRIMINATE do you think applies to this article? The article isn't a work, so it can't be "Summary-only descriptions of works", obviously this isn't a song either, I don't see any "unexplained statistics" and obviously a cat cannot have "exhaustive logs of software updates". Nohomersryan (talk) 02:44, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"...the cat was 'honorary mayor' since 1997". By whose account? You mean the same people responsible for this publicity stunt in the first place? I've already asserted their lack of credibility and the lack of fact checking evident in the one source I perused. Obviously, since Talkeetna is not an incorporated community, they have as much legal authority to conduct local elections as they do to declare a position of mayor, namely zero. The only local election which would have occurred was the one conducted by the state on the matter of incorporation. As I pointed out, this election occurred in 2002, not 1997. Once again, you're attempting to assert that we're obligated to blindly parrot journalists even when it's blatantly obvious that no fact checking occurred? That's conforming to a controlled narrative, not to reliable sources. There's nothing "reliable" whatsoever in a piece where there's no fact checking, regardless of who wrote or "edited" it. From the tone of this discussion, it sounds to me like the other sources have the exact same problems, but I won't have time tonight to look over them. As for the WP:INDISCRIMINATE argument, perhaps they meant WP:TRIVIA. The passage about afternoon catnip in a wine glass is nothing but trivia. I'm sure I could find other examples if I bothered.

@EvergreenFir: See my previous comments about Kool-Aid drinking. Myself and others are pointing out in some detail that the claims of notability found in the sources are rooted in certain "facts", despite abundant evidence that those "facts" were made up out of thin air by the interviewee(s) and taken at face value by so-called professional journalists, that no actual fact checking took place, and that it was a piece of cake to verify that the interviewee's claims amount of one steaming pile. Yet most everyone in this discussion has the gall to keep calling them "reliable sources". WHY??? Some other famous words come to mind, namely those of Barack Obama: "They’re trying to bamboozle you. Don’t let people turn you around because they’re just making stuff up. That’s what they do. They try to bamboozle you, hoodwink you". Alex Jones is "fake news" but this isn't? And here I thought that the expression "is that guy kidding or what?" only referred to Frank Zappa's famous diatribe about Peter Frampton ("These people are fucked up. They are very fucked up."). And I haven't even addressed whether the claims of the keep voters of "significant coverage" are really a matter of the same few stories and same few non-facts being propagated endlessly from one website to the next, a common scam around AFD. This leads to another question I don't expect anyone to answer. How do you suppose that folks will continue to come to this website and contribute when we're sending such a clear message that our only purpose here is to be automatons parroting the agendas of news editors? I'm not a teenager or twentysomething living in mommy's basement, I'm 50 years old and have been working for a living more or less continuously since 1983. As such, doing someone else's bidding for them is the sort of work I expect to be paid for. If I'm coming here as a volunteer, I expect to use my experience and judgement to guide content and hope that those will be respected by fellow editors. Telling me that we're here strictly to parrot information published by a cherry-picked list of other websites, at face value, without regard for its factual accuracy, really tells me that you don't respect that experience and judgement.

Does not meet the notability guidelines for politicians, which specifically state "Just being an elected local official,or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article." Other than running for office there doesn't seem to be another claim to notability(such as his legal or military careers). It almost reads as a bio in campaign literature.

Having examined the sources, they consist of affiliated websites(his lawfirm and campaign websites), announcements of his campaign, and name-drops in larger articles about Democratic congressional candidates in general without in depth coverage. 331dot (talk) 08:16, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject from both local and national sources. People are trying to learn about the guy. He also definitely seems to pass the bar on being a major local political figures who have received significant press coverage WP:POLITICIANS. to Right now, there's no neutral and trusted broker for information on him. Clearly, I agree that merely being a candidate doesn't guarantee notability, but I think that were he NOT a candidate and had a similar level of coverage in reliable sources, we wouldn't be hesitating to post this. Fully understand that my opinion here will be discounted because of my connection, but I sincerely don't see how deleting the page improves the community Corbantd (talk) 18:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Corbantd: Please offer the sources that you claim have the significant coverage of Jason Crow, as well as any sources claiming he is a "frontrunner"; they aren't in the article currently. Wikipedia is not for a promotional purpose like helping people "trying to learn about the guy"; he must be notable per notability guidelines and IMO does not appear to be currently. He isn't notable as a candidate(if he wins then he would merit an article as a member of Congress) per WP:POLITICIAN nor does he seem to be per the general biography guidelines. Other than his lawfirm's website(which is not an independent source) there is no information about how he is notable as an attorney or as a member of the military. Again, please offer any sources you have that aren't in the article currently, if they exist. 331dot (talk) 21:21, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot I disagree with how you've read the 'promotional purposes' rule. Of course this shouldn't be about advocacy, propaganda, marketing, scandal mongering, self-promotion, etc -- but it absolutely IS for people trying to learn noteworthy and verifiable information about notable public figures. I agree that the tone in the current piece might feel promotional, but that's a result of how it's written, not the fact that the guy isn't notable. The article looks like it was updated to provide a more balanced and complete picture of Crow and his career. Regardless, Crow was called the front runner by ColoradoPolitics [9] "Crow is emerging as the frontrunner in the race" and The Hill [10] "Jason Crow, a Denver-area lawyer and veteran who has emerged as the clear front-runner," which are the most influential political newspapers in Colorado and in the Country respectively. There have been at least 5 dedicated profiles to him covering every prominent local paper and he's been name dropped in Rolling Stone, Politico, The Hill and then a bunch of smaller outlets. Corbantd (talk) 21:59, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We don't keep articles about candidates just because a source predicts that they're the front-runner — lots of people have been perceived as the front runner in an election that they ultimately lost (Hillary Clinton would be sitting in the White House right now if the front-runner always won), who's the front runner can change over the course of the campaign (Tom Mulcair would be Prime Minister of Canada right now if the front-runner at the start of an election campaign always stayed the front-runner right through to election day), and different sources can come to different reads on who is or isn't the front-runner (see the whole "unskewing" thing in 2012, where some sources were predicting a more Romney-friendly voter turnout model than others were.) And getting namedropped in sources doesn't assist notability either — if he were the subject of coverage in Politico, Rolling Stone or The Hill, then there might be a case that he was beginning to clear GNG, but a person doesn't clear notability standards just because those sources namecheck his existence within coverage of other things. Bearcat (talk) 22:15, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the Hill article, he was the primary subject of that coverage. Or at least, it was evenly split between Crow and Tillemann Corbantd (talk) 06:27, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being the primary subject of one source is not enough to confer a WP:GNG pass in and of itself. To make a valid claim that a person has passed GNG for the candidacy itself, the candidate has to garner far more than the merely expected and WP:ROUTINE level of campaign coverage that always exists for all candidates — the canonical example is Christine O'Donnell, who got so bloody much coverage that her article cites 160 sources, and is consequently both longer and better sourced than our article about the guy she lost to. One extralocal source giving a candidate coverage that goes beyond mentioning his existence is not enough all by itself. Bearcat (talk) 13:38, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Unelected candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot take the candidacy completely out of the equation and still have a keepable article about somebody who already met a notability standard for some other reason, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to get an article on here for his political activities per se. About half the footnotes here are primary sources (his own campaign website, his own staff profile on the website of his own employer, YouTube videos, FEC directories, etc.) that cannot assist notability at all, and even the ones that are to proper reliable sources are almost entirely local and WP:ROUTINE: the media are expected to grant coverage to local political races happening in their own coverage area, which means that every candidate in any election always gets some media attention. Accordingly, such coverage does not get the candidate over WP:GNG as a Christine O'Donnell-style special case unless and until it explodes into something far out of proportion to what every candidate could always show. So this article simply isn't demonstrating what's actually required. Bearcat (talk) 22:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: This particular race is garnering attention outside the usual local/regional area, per The Hill and similar -- the line between "namechecks" and coverage is a thin one, but in the case of a US Congressional race, when there are enough "namechecks" that go beyond a simple laundry list, this is strong evidence that someone is a major candidate for Federal Office, and thus notable -- far beyond, for example, a candidate for a state or local office. In this case, this individual has been a speaker at the DNC, the contested primary has been discussed at Roll Call, Crow has been noticed by several other national outlets, including CNN, The Chicago Tribune The Week, Axios, and although being one of Denver's "40 Under 40" isn't notable by itself, the coverage from 2013 was neutral, third party prior to his run for office, so it is a contributing factor. He also has been targeted by the NRCC, so getting the attention of one's opponents also contributes. In short, this one is of adequate indicia of notability to pass GNG. Also, there is no rule that one has to "take the candidacy completely out of the equation." That is neither consensus nor part of NPOL, which states, "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable...[per GNG]" Nothing says that coverage outside of the candidacy is the only thing that can be used. Montanabw^(talk) 22:33, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The points you speak of seem to me to go to the notability of the election itself, which would merit an article anyway. 331dot (talk) 22:57, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

331dot is correct: the coverage you're talking about speaks to the notability of the election, which is already going to get an article anyway once the time comes that people start working on the 2018-midterms cycle articles, and not to the independent notability of every (or any) individual candidate in the election's primary process. Again, this type of coverage always exists for every candidate in every election, but Wikipedia's notability rules for politicians are intentionally designed to prevent Wikipedia from devolving into a repository of unelected candidates' campaign brochures — the expected and WP:ROUTINE coverage of candidates in the context of an election campaign does not count as WP:GNG-conferring coverage for the purposes of handing each individual candidate a standalone BLP separately from the overall article about the campaign. As of right now, we're still talking about a person who's a candidate in a primary race that's still about a year away, and that's simply not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself — even being a candidate in the general election isn't enough except in a few very isolated special cases. And yes, the only other way a candidate gets a Wikipedia article is if they already cleared a notability standard for some other reason completely divorced of their candidacy itself — such as having already held another notable political office, or already having had preexisting notability in sports or arts or business. Bearcat (talk) 23:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think what we're seeing this develop into is quite the opposite of a campaign brochure -- it is a valuable reference highlighting both assets and controversies surrounding a particularly notable candidate. Corbantd (talk) 06:25, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Except the notability guidelines specifically state that candidates are not notable just for being candidates. 331dot (talk) 08:44, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is entirely possible for a campaign brochure to be written in a seemingly neutral and not overly advertorial way, or even a negative one (e.g. a competing candidate's attack ads against their opponent still fall under the rubric of campaign literature — and yes, our articles can be and are often used as a venue for attack edits against opponents, and protecting people from that risk is one of the reasons we limit political notability to officeholders rather than mere candidates.) What determines whether it is or isn't a campaign brochure is not just the writing tone that is or isn't used, but the simple fact that its purpose for existing is tied directly to an election campaign. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as unelected candidate with no other claim to notability. And Note that all Democratic candidates for Congress are getting more and earlier coverage than in an ordinary year. This is not a testament to the special notability of this or other candidates, merely the consequence of the political moment.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect WP:POLOUTCOMES states, "Candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into lists of campaign hopefuls, such as Ontario New Democratic Party candidates, 1995 Ontario provincial election, or into articles detailing the specific race in question, such as United States Senate election in Nevada, 2010." Looking through the sources in the article, there is nothing that indicates that the subject is notable outside of the election campaign, nor has the subject received a disproportionate amount of coverage similar to Christine O'Donnell, whose campaign received international coverage. The community consensus is that the details of the specific race are notable, and most of the reliable source coverage is about the campaign, rather than the subject (or are tangential COATRACK issues). --Enos733 (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. WP:ROUTINE doesn't apply here. It's designed to exclude very short notices, such as sports scores and death announcements, not all coverage that occurs on a predictable timetable. In fact, the advice on how to interpret WP:ROUTINE at WP:NOTROUTINE uses coverage of political races as a specific example of something that is not to be considered routine coverage. Regardless of whether or not the political notability guidelines are met, WP:GNG clearly are met here, it's very quick and easy to find multiple independent and reliable sources giving this guy significant coverage that allows an article to be sourced, such as this or this or this. Landscape repton (talk) 11:24, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources are all related to his candidacy, which is specifically called out as not meeting notability. They are more relevant to the election itself. 331dot (talk) 14:11, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything in WP:GNG that supports that reading. It just demands significant coverage is given to him so that an article can be written without requiring original research. That's clearly the case with these sources. Significant coverage isn't exclusive, in that a single source can give significant coverage to multiple topics. A source can be a source for both an individual and for the political campaign; the fact it does the latter doesn't invalidate the former. Landscape repton (talk) 14:35, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

One local paper, one Denver article focused on the other candidate, and one non-authoritative blogish site are not sufficient to support notability.--Rpclod (talk) 02:03, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If the volume of reliable source coverage shown here were enough in and of itself, then every candidate in any election would always pass GNG. But Wikipedia is routinely misused as a PR platform by wannabes in a lot of fields of human endeavour — so for human occupations, our notability standards explicitly spell out certain markers of accomplishment that have to be passed before an article is considered acceptable. And for politicians, one of the rules is that they have to hold a notable office, not just be a candidate for one — and while there are rare special cases where a candidacy garners a lot more coverage than the norm (e.g. Christine O'Donnell, whose article cites 160 distinct sources), GNG is not automatically passed just because some media coverage of the candidacy exists, because some media coverage of all candidacies in all elections always exists. What needs to be shown to get a candidate into Wikipedia just for being a candidate is that his candidacy is a lot more notable than most other candidacies are, but that's not what's being shown here. WP:ROUTINE does include coverage that's merely expected to exist, such as local coverage of local politics, and is not limited to just short blurbs. And just for the record, the volume of reliable source coverage present here is not equal to the number of footnotes present — at a glance, about half the footnotes are primary sources, press releases, blogs, YouTube videos or tweets, not real media coverage, and what's left after all of those are discounted is not enough in either volume or depth to deem his candidacy somehow special.

• Delete. Mysteriously, this is actually the only book on paper airplanes I own (have had it for a decade) but it's clearly not very special, not in that there are many books about paper airplanes, but in after doing further research, I have discovered that many of the designs included in the book are frankly unoriginal. If the paper airplanes were original, it would be a keep based on the longevity of the print run as well as having the Klutz branding, but it does not, so...Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 21:17, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD, removed without any particular rationale. Unsourced article on a beach soccer team which a search (in which regard I freely admit to an inability to read Italian) only appears to give run-of-the-mill information confirming that the team exists. There is a claim to notability in that they've won a European competition, but I note that that competition also doesn't appear to have much in the way of coverage, although it's hampered by having a name that makes it a challenge to search for "cleanly".

WP:BLP, written as a cross between an advertorial PR profile and a résumé instead of as a proper encyclopedia article, about a photographer who may have valid claims of notability per WP:NARTIST but isn't properly sourcing them. Nearly all of the sources here are primary sources or blogs or circular referencing to other Wikipedia articles — for example, all of the "www.leclubdesad.org" footnotes (#14 through #29) are not to media coverage about him, but to archived copies of the ads he worked on. Literally the only footnote in the entire article that represents reliable source coverage about him is a 50-word blurb. As always, every photographer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists; reliable source coverage about him in media must be present to support the notability claims for an article to become earned.

• Comment this looks like a translation from an article on the French Wikipedia. I'm not sure there's any case for notability in the article. Power~enwiki (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Yes, it's definitely a translation from fr:Marc Robin. The first deleted revision (by the same editor who wrote the draft) very obviously began as Google Translate output, from the way it mangled the markup. —Cryptic 17:10, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I ran a news archive search on proquest, ("Marc Robin" + photographer) which really ought to turn up something on a photographer of any notability at all. zip. nada. (There is, however, a conspicuously notable choreographer named Marc Robin who truly ought to have an article.)E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:37, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Redirect - it has charted on a national chart. Meets WP:NSONG. - TheMagnificentist 10:28, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quote WP:NSONG "Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable". for actual notability NSONG posits the song must have "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label". IOW, WP:NSONG has not been met. Kleuske (talk) 11:02, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
