Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carl Haglund (real estate)
Mr. Haglund meets : there are substantial articles written about him specifically (although none about his property management company or his very young foundation, which should probably be removed from the article) from reliable sources, and the facts about him are verifiable. Haglund is known for his management of older buildings in some generally lower-income neighborhoods of Seattle, so the term slumlord is certainly loaded and non-neutral, but it has been used so many times by notable people and journalists writing for reliable sources that it is, indelibly, connected to him. I agree that he is primarily known in the Seattle metropolitan area, as like most real estate investors, he has concentrated his investments close to him. The amount of press coverage (largely negative, but some positive) given to Haglund is significant compared to most landlords — and indeed compared to most real estate businesspeople. Among the few non-Seattle-region news articles I could find mentioning Haglund is this one from ''Socialist Alternative'', the monthly newspaper printed by Socialist Alternative (United States), a political party: https://www.socialistalternative.org/2018/06/18/notorious-slumlord-withdraws-lawsuit-win-sawant-housing-justice-movement/ “Notorious Slumlord” Withdraws Lawsuit, a Win for Sawant and the Housing Justice Movement. It casts Haglund as emblematic of exploitative landlords in the context of SA's campaign for housing justice. Haglund is also mentioned in this ''Jacobin (magazine)|Jacobin'' article: https://jacobinmag.com/2017/08/kshama-sawant-interview-seattle-city-council “The Society We Are Fighting for Has to Be Free From All Oppression” which is primarily about Councilmember Sawant and the "Carl Haglund law," as she describes it
