Deletion of Shneur Odze

Comment: Candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot show and |properly source that he was ''already'' eligible for an article for some other reason ''independent'' of his candidacy, then he has to ''win'' the election, not merely run in it, to get a Wikipedia article ''because'' election per se. Serving on a ''borough'' council, however, is ''not'' grounds for notability in and of itself — a person would have to serve on the citywide London Assembly, not just the borough council of Hackney, to get a Wikipedia article just for serving in a ''local'' political office.And the sourcing here is not adequate to claim that he passes , either — there are too many |primary sources, |routine election results tables, and glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles about other things, and the number of sources which ''are'' genuinely both reliable and substantively ''about'' him is simply not high ''enough'' to pass GNG — ''every'' candidate in ''any'' election could ''always'' show the number of sources shown here, so those sources are ''not'' showing him to be ''more'' notable than the norm. Christine O'Donnell, who got flayed alive by an international media ''firestorm'', is the textbook case for how much coverage of a person's candidacy it takes to clear GNG ''because'' campaign coverage in and of itself, and this doesn't even approach a ''fraction'' of enough

Comment: I don't see him as- or how he can be- a politician until he is elected to something. At the moment he is a rabbi with an unfortunate? habit of putting his foot in it. Suggest this is stubbed of the attacks and negativity. Of course that would then  leave about three lines. Having said that, passing  requires being a {{green|Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage}}; the question is the definition of 'major'; but there's certainly coverage. Equally, as Govindaharihari points out, being {{green|an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".}} So, not so much NPOL, but  is the vital policy at the end, as those its similar criteria.  &mdash

Comment: Firstly, despite what {{u|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} says,  does apply. Criteria 3. explicitly mentions "unelected candidate for political office". This is our current consensus. Secondly, while tabloid sleaze should be kept out, well-sourced but negative information, such as his refusal to shake hands with female candidates and voters or his decision to burn religious books is perfectly appropriate
