I don't think "first African American in the United States to earn a PhD in juvenile justice" is a noteworthy enough first to get a Wikipedia page, and the lack of any national news coverage seems to support that. The fact that his U.S. Senate campaign has also attracted little attention is also telling. Also--and I know this isn't really relevant but it's worth mentioning--the article is terribly written and not at all neutral. Sentences like "For more information or to make a donation to the Tracy Andrus Foundation, please visit www.tracyandrusfoundation.com" should not be on Wikipedia.

Delete: Running for Senate isn't notable. There are few hits for a female Tracy Andrus, who was the daughter of the Idaho governor at one point, nothing found for this person. Routine coverage, having to shut down his foundation because of the political campaign etc. Oaktree b (talk) 19:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My fave is when the showers for the homeless people are open, given days of the week and hours of operation. I don't know what to say, this isn't a social services directory; if having showers available is what the creator thinks gets you a wiki article, well, just don't bother creating it. Flowery language... I'd have deleted this for promotional material. Oaktree b (talk) 19:38, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as abuse of Wikipedia. Promotional puff. Notability not found. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:39, 29 September 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Delete as abuse of Wikipedia. I agree it is all promotional verbiage that is completely lacking in notability. Paul H. (talk) 23:18, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
