Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Saikat Chakrabarti
I appreciate the work that many editors have put in trying to establish notability of the subject of this article. 26 references as of right now–but unfortunately, almost all of them still have "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez" in the headline and not Chakrabarti. Looking at the best examples: the Politico profile is entirely about his work for Sanders, JD/BNC, and AOC (all of which is really the same employer, this is all Sanders' progeny), and it's not really very significant in length. Counting that as one example of significant coverage in an independent reliable source, we still need ''multiple'' such examples to meet . The Rachel Maddow interview doesn't count; it's entirely about Brand New Congress, it's not about Chak; he is only the spokesperson. Kozub/The Verge, and Shaw/Fox News, are both all about AOC and the PACs, and from marginal RSes. Inquistr is not an RS (news aggregator, not journalism). Everything else put forward is either a passing mention or from a non-reliable source. Look at his article right now: the sections are Bernie Sanders, Justice Democrats, AOC. Almost all of the content is about somebody ''other than'' Chakrabarti. We can't write a decent stand-alone article about him because he is not notable enough and we don't have the RSes to draw from. It's not about ''how many'' sources we can gather, but about their quality. And in this case, he is always treated as a "part of" the Bernie Sanders/AOC political machine. Barring multiple examples of significant coverage in independent reliable sources, his article should be merged and redirected
