Article on a former, unsuccessful write-in candidate for mayor of Brentwood, California [1] is currently referenced by a single source. An extensive BEFORE (newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books, JSTOR) finds no other RS other than the East Bay Times mention of his mayoral candidacy and a self-authored mention on the local PBS affiliate website (plus the in-article source which contains purely trivial information). Per WP:NPOL and longstanding consensus, failed candidates for political office are not inherently notable and sources must establish notability independent of coverage of their candidacy which we generally consider WP:ROUTINE. There is insufficient WP:SIGCOV to otherwise demonstrate this passes the GNG. Indeed, we have so little biographical information it's not even clear if this individual is currently alive as there's also an obituary here [2] but, since the article can't even source his DOB, it's unclear if this is the same person.

• Keep if more sources can be found, otherwise move to draft so that it can be worked on. BOZ (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

• In principle I have no issue with Draftiying articles, but oppose draftiying BLPs except in rare circumstances. Our obligations to the privacy of non-notable individuals preclude maintaining pages on them on Wikipedia, even if they are in non-searchable namespaces. Chetsford (talk) 02:29, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

• Delete a non-notable local politician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:30, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
• Delete I have failed to find any other sources except for East Bay Times one that is WP:SIGCOV (2 sources in Italian but both are passing mentions [3] and [4], but not enough for the subject to be a WP:BASIC pass). This shouldn't go to draft, as it should be a place for something to be worked on if there are enough sources (and even then WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP) or for an upcoming subject that has yet to achieve notability but possibly could. Aldo fits neither. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:48, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
