A local leader of a political party that does not meet WP:NPOL. Though his name is mentioned in several newspapers, they are all passing mentions and reflect more on the party than the subject himself. MT Train^Talk 09:00, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being president of a political organization (minor political party? youth organization? I can't tell) is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass. But as written, this is a two-sentence substub which just states that he exists, and reference bombs the fact of his existence to nine glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, and one source that is technically about him but is posted to a user-generated public relations blog on WordPress (and thus is not a notability-assisting source). This is not how you get a person like this over WP:GNG: he has to be the subject of media coverage, not just have his name mentioned in media coverage of other things, and that sourcing has to enable us to write more about him than just "he exists, the end".
