An Evan Falchuk page was deleted in 2015 on notability grounds, though I suspect improper behavior from my PR staff was also partially responsible. Several in-depth profiles about me have been published since and this draft better complies with Wikipedia's rules.

For notability purposes, please review:

I would like to ping those editors that participated in the deletion discussion 5 years ago to see if they agree or disagree on whether my notability status has changed: @Bearcat: @PWilkinson: @Rpclod: @Hirolovesswords: @Phantomsteve: @Kraxler: @Bearian:.

Firstly, people are not eligible to have Wikipedia articles just for having been unelected candidates for political office. The notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one — and no, the fact that some campaign coverage happens to exist does not mean that you're exempted from having to pass NPOL: every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage. To get a Wikipedia article without having actually held political office, rather, you would have to pass one of two other tests: either (a) it can be shown that you pass our notability criteria for businesspeople, quite independently of the political candidacy, or (b) it can be shown that your candidacy was somehow much more important than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. Your draft does not pass either of those tests as written, and again, simply having been a candidate in an election you did not win is not in and of itself grounds for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Secondly, please familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules — especially WP:AUTOBIO, which states that people are not allowed to start Wikipedia articles about themselves. So even if you could be shown to pass the "notable for other reasons" or "candidacy was of uniquely important and enduring significance" tests, you still would not be entitled to write the article yourself.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Evan Falchuk (December 7)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that one of the biographical notability criteria is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.

You may ask for advice about the biographical notability criteria at the Teahouse.

In particular, see and refer to WP:GNG for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against.

There have already been deletion discussions about the subject of this draft that have concluded that he did not satisfy biographical notability . Nothing in this draft provides reason to think that this autobiography is better than the deleted articles.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Evan Falchuk and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Evan Falchuk, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

I think this article would be deleted per WP:NPOL. Right now it is a redirect, which I think is appropriate. Bearian (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
