Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick Melvoin
School board trustees don't clear  just because they exist — and no, the fact that he serves on the school board of ''Los Angeles'', rather than Palookaville WY, is not in and of itself enough to make him a special case, because most other school board trustees in ''LA'' don't have articles ''either''. Candidacy-related coverage does not help him clear , because some degree of that is simply ''expected'' to exist for all candidates in all school board elections everywhere. There is a ''potential'' claim of preexisting notability here for his work as an education advocate ''before'' he ran for school board, but it's not sourced well enough to get him over GNG for it: it's stacked mainly onto one piece of his own writing, one Q&A interview in which he's merely being quoted talking about himself, and a couple of additional sources which verify stray facts about the outcome without mentioning Melvoin's name ''at all'' in conjunction with it. So literally the only source here that's doing much at all in terms of qualifying Melvoin for a Wikipedia article is ''The New Republic's'' "The Layoff Epidemic", because it's the only source that satisfies ''all'' the required conditions — reliable, predating the election campaign itself ''and'' more than trivially about him — but ''one'' solid source isn't enough to drop the mic
