WP:Notability The individual currently lacks sufficient personal notability.

While they did receive some national coverage, this coverage almost entirely focuses on the fact that he may have been a spoiler that forced a potentially-consequential U.S. Senate election into a runoff. This indicates a circumstance where an individual is only widely notable in relation to a single event. In those cases, it is Wikipedia's general policy to have an article on the event, but not have a separate article on the individual themselves.

It is my request/suggestion that we

Turn the Chase Oliver space into a redirect to the ~~2020 United States Senate election in Georgia~~ 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia

and

Draftify the content (move to the draft space). It is possible that in the coming year, as he runs for president, he may garner note. Heck, perhaps might even be his party's national standard-bearer. Therefore, it makes sense to keep this content in the draft space for a period of time to make it it easily-available if there is a rationale to re-create it as an article, as well as to allow people to improve the draft's coverage of the individual before that time comes if they so desire.

Side note: we have to be vigilant to curb the creation of articles on individuals with presidential candidacies that have not attained sufficient notability to justify and article. These sort of articles get created every election. SecretName101 (talk) 02:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Restore redirect: Still WP:BLP1E for his role in the 2022 election. If his prez run gains prominence for whatever reason, we can re-assess at that point, but I don't see why we have to live-or-die by the will of a sockpuppet. Curbon7 (talk) 12:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Restoring the redirect maintains the page history, so no need for draftify in such a case. Curbon7 (talk) 12:58, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Curbon7 good catch/point. That's fair SecretName101 (talk) 19:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia#Libertarian primary (as it was originally). A minor political figure who doesn't meet WP:NPOL or have significant coverage outside of a single event, the 2022 Georgia Senate race. WP:TOOSOON on US presidential candidacy; announcing you're running is not notable in itself and the coverage so far is WP:ROUTINE. FYI @SecretName101:, I think you may have meant "2022" and not "2020" above; Oliver appears to have run in a House race in 2020 but was not involved in the Senate race.

Redirect to 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia#Libertarian primary. Sourcing does not seem sufficient to pass WP:GNG. --Enos733 (talk) 16:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
