Evan Falchuk

An Evan Falchuk page was deleted in 2015 on notability grounds, though I suspect improper behavior from my PR staff was also partially responsible. Several in-depth profiles about me have been published since and this draft better complies with Wikipedia's rules.

For notability purposes, please review:

I would like to ping those editors that participated in the deletion discussion 5 years ago to see if they agree or disagree on whether my notability status has changed: @Bearcat: @PWilkinson: @Rpclod: @Hirolovesswords: @Phantomsteve: @Kraxler: @Bearian:.

Firstly, people are not eligible to have Wikipedia articles just for having been unelected candidates for political office. The notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one — and no, the fact that some campaign coverage happens to exist does not mean that you're exempted from having to pass NPOL: every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage. To get a Wikipedia article without having actually held political office, rather, you would have to pass one of two other tests: either (a) it can be shown that you pass our notability criteria for businesspeople, quite independently of the political candidacy, or (b) it can be shown that your candidacy was somehow much more important than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would pass the ten year test for enduring significance. Your draft does not pass either of those tests as written, and again, simply having been a candidate in an election you did not win is not in and of itself grounds for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Secondly, please familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules — especially WP:AUTOBIO, which states that people are not allowed to start Wikipedia articles about themselves. So even if you could be shown to pass the "notable for other reasons" or "candidacy was of uniquely important and enduring significance" tests, you still would not be entitled to write the article yourself.

• I think this article would be deleted per WP:NPOL. Right now it is a redirect, which I think is appropriate. Bearian (talk) 22:12, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
