Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dave Min
I have little doubt that the article was created for promotional purposes, and it's seen more than its fair share of COI editing. However the article has been largely cleaned up, and there's no reason to |blow it up now based on things that happened in the past. Future disruption can be dealt with. Regarding notability, there are more than enough reliable sources to easily satisfy our |general notability guideline. We have the http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-second-uc-irvine-professor-to-challenge-1491417754-htmlstory.html LA Times, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/policy-nerd-dave-min-wants-give-academia-seat-congress-n760156 NBC News, http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/mimi-walters-gets-second-challenger Roll Call, https://www.ocweekly.com/here-comes-min-8016480/ OC Weekly, the https://www.ocregister.com/2017/04/05/dave-min-a-uc-irvine-law-professor-will-challenge-rep-mimi-walters/ OC Register, the http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/world/2017/04/684_227539.html Korean Times, all mostly about Min. And those are just the sources that are currently cited after a deep cull of the promotional content. Heck, the guy also received a paragraph and a photo in https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/magazine/a-post-obama-democratic-party-in-search-of-itself.html?mtrref=www.google.com&gwh=6BC40F2BF8451B4F4E748FFFBAB55D34&gwt=pay The NY Times.  is explicit that candidates for office can be notable "if they meet the |primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources that are Wikipedia:Verifiability#Sources|independent of the subject of the article.'"  is also explicit that  is merely an additional avenue to establish notability. {{nw
