This page is about a politician in Saint Vincent that doesn't seem to pass WP:POLITICIAN. Sources that can be found (and that are in the article) are just primary sources (that has been repeatedly added by one editor) to the agriculture.gov.vc website and caribbeanelections.com. A WP:BEFORE check did not turn up any significant third party sources (other than local news). Mike Allen 22:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: User:IslandScholar has removed the AFD notice twice even after being warned not to. I have not restored again because I do not want to edit war over it. They are being very disruptive. They have also reverted the AFD bot. Mike Allen 22:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have reported the user to WP:AN3. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" ^{(work / talk)} 23:26, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How does holding the position of Minister Of Agriculture for St. Vincent And The Grenadines not pass WP:POLITICIAN? AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:30, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep: WP:SK#3 as basically completely erroneous. Did the nominator even read the article? It's literally in the 2nd sentence: He is an elected member of parliament and minister of agriculture for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Curbon7 (talk) 00:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw and close. I didn’t realize being a politician with only primary sources satisfied WP:GNG. My bad. Mike Allen 00:57, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, the article does need ref improvement, but WP:NPOL is one of the most clear-cut bars to pass, in that the offices that are considered presumptively notable are very clearly defined. This leans on WP:NEXIST, in that as long as it is sourced that a subject has held an WP:NPOL-qualifying office (in this case, an MP), it is sufficient.

It isn't difficult to find secondary sources referring to Caesar as Minister of Agriculture. [1][2][3] and more... AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:07, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Elected members of a national legislative body pass WP:NPOL. The standard for national and state/provincial wide officials is a clear bar (subject to WP:V). --Enos733 (talk) 06:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
