Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ernie McAlister
While it's certainly true that Wikipedia articles have to be written |neutrally and non-promotionally, that is not in and of itself the ''only'' condition that an article has to pass to get kept: the subject also has to actually pass a |notability standard — which this article does ''not'' demonstrate that Ernie McAlister does, because the notability standard for mayors is ''not'' just "he exists" — and he actually has to pass  on the article's referenceability to |reliable source coverage about him in real media — which this article does not demonstrate that Ernie McAlister does, because the only "source" provided here at all is a blurb in the university alumni newsletter of his own alma mater, which is not a notability-assisting source. We do ''not'' keep articles about people who ''fail'' our notability standards just because the writing isn't blatantly advertorial — an article lives or dies on its ''sourceability'', not just its writing tone
