Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Chen (2nd nomination)
People do not get articles for running as candidates in elections they did not win, so having been an unsuccessful congressional candidate in 2012 has no bearing on his notability at all — but the roles he has held, on the board of trustees of a public community college and a local school board, are not roles that guarantee a person a Wikipedia article either, and this is referenced nowhere near well enough to make him a special case. To be considered notable enough for an article on these grounds, the bar he would have to clear is that he's been the subject of much, much more nationalized coverage than the norm for these roles, thus making him much more nationally notable than the hundreds of thousands of other people who've done the same things without getting Wikipedia articles for them. The references are a |primary source board member profile on the college's own |self-published website, which is not a notability-supporting source at all; a very short blurb about him withdrawing from a primary, which is not substantive coverage; and a glancing mention of his existence in an article that isn't ''about him'' to any non-trivial degree. This is not how you make a person notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia
