Deletion of David Kim (politician)

Comment: To be consistent with other positions I have taken, this should be redirected to 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in California#District 34 as a usual and appropriate outcome under  and . My position is not bolded because with now 14 days until the election, and notwithstanding concerns about Wikipedia being a repository of campaign brochures, I think we should refrain from deleting subjects within the last few days before an election when they might become elected to a position that confers the presumption of notability

Comment: As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they have not won — the primary notability test for politicians is ''holding'' a notable political office, not just running for one, and candidates are accepted as notable only if (a) they have a credible claim to preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy (Cynthia Nixon), or (b) they can credibly claim that their candidacy is ''much more'' special than everybody else's candidacies, in some way that would pass the |ten year test for enduring significance. But neither of those things are demonstrated here, and the article depends very heavily on |primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as his own self-published campaign website about himself and YouTube videos and routine candidate directories that have profiles on ''every'' candidate in ''every'' district — and even the few genuinely "strong" sources, such as ''The New York Times'' and Asian American Policy Review, still just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of not being ''about him'', which is not the kind of "coverage" we're looking for
