How does this meet notability criteria?

Coke isn't an MP and has never won a seat. JRPG (talk) 22:03, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion tag

JRPG is right that Coke’s minor political career does not make him notable per the SNG of WP:NPOL, but that does not mean he is non-notable, just that he needs to comply with the basic GNG test of WP:N, viz. “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject”. Led by the EDP, the sources here do surely provide that. Moonraker (talk) 12:35, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
