WP:BLP of a politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL. The main notability claim here is that he's county executive of a county, but that's not a role that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article -- it's a role where he would have to pass WP:NPOL #2, which hinges on the quality and depth of his sourcing. But of the five footnotes here, two are just redundant repetitions of two of the three others, so there are really only three sources -- and of those, one is a primary source (the county government's own self-published website about itself) that isn't support for notability at all, one is his "voter information" blurb in the local newspaper's "voter information blurbs about every candidate on the ballot" section, and one is just simple verification that he won the election -- which doesn't add up to enough to satisfy NPOL #2.

Delete: I could not find significant coverage in reliable sources. It may be that he becomes a notable county executive, but at this point, it's too soon. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I’d keep him, because there’s a local NBC source that he won the election of that county, but it’s true that it’s to early to tell, but I’m sure that coverage will come to him eventually. Ivan Milenin (talk) 21:50, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't keep articles about local politicians on the presumption that they may eventually get more coverage than they have right now — if and when he does have enough coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2, then that will be the time that an article about him will become eligible for creation.

Comment: I've added additional reliable sources to the article. Check them out to see whether they're good enough or not. Ivan Milenin (talk) 01:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
