Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Fosh
As yet unelected candidates for mayor of a city do not get Wikipedia articles on that basis per se — a person has to hold a notable political office, not just run for one, to be notable on political grounds, and the idea expressed above that political candidates aren't politicians, and thus can't be measured against NPOL at all, is a laughable non-starter: preventing articles about unelected political candidates who don't pass any other inclusion criteria independently of the candidacy is ''precisely the point'' of NPOL, so trying to argue that political candidates aren't subject to it is doomed to fail. And the number of subscribers that a person does or doesn't have on a social media platform have absolutely jack spit to do with our notability criteria in any occupation — the notability test hinges on attention from ''real'' media, not from ''social'' media. But the references here are all either unreliable sources or glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage about other things, which is not how you source a person over  in ''lieu'' of actually having to pass any specific notability criteria — we're looking for ''reliable'' source coverage ''about him'', not just any web page people can find that happens to have his name in it. And anybody who thinks that "if somebody else has a page then this person automatically has to have a page as well" is strongly advised to read  and , specifically the parts about how (a) the pages may not actually be genuinely equivalent, because there may be different circumstances and different sourceabilities, and (b) WAX arguments can backfire by causing the other article to be nominated for deletion too
