I'm not seeing how this would pass WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF. Kj cheetham (talk) 10:18, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Can't find any publications by this subject (even though he is characterized as an "author" in the article) or any independent sources covering him. Does not appear to pass WP:GNG or any other notability guidelines. Nsk92 (talk) 11:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As noted below, User:Rawkintrevo appears to be the subject of this article, per their self-identification at their user page. They have already made a major edit [1] to the article, introducing WP:COI. The abortive political candidacy for a relatively minor local office is not notable. The edit also mentions a new paper, published in Sept 2020, and a new book[2], with several co-authors, also published in 2020. There is no indication that either work received significant coverage/reviews/citations that could contribute to potential WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR notability.

Will update this today- please give me a week to back fill publications before deletion. 24, February 2021 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rawkintrevo (talk • contribs) 14:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Commment AfD discussions typically stay open for a week anyway. But as your userpage indicates you are Trevor Grant, it's probably unwise for you to edit the page yourself as it's a conflict of interest (see WP:COI), but can add requests for edits to the Talk page, or make a case for not deleting here, which will be taken into account by whoever closes the discussion. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:21, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is clearly PROMO. None of his listed accomplishments(?) are remotely close to conferring automatic notability and independent coverage of him is entirely passing or run-of-the-mill. There's also a possible BLP-violating quote embedded in one of the refs regarding opponents in the alderman race. JoelleJay (talk) 16:55, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
