Jesse Gabriel (politician)[edit]

Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only as a county commissioner and as yet non-winning candidate in a future state legislature election. As always, neither of these are claims of notability that get a person into Wikipedia in and of themselves: state house candidates need to win the election and thereby hold the office to clear WP:NPOL #1, and otherwise qualify for articles only if they can be shown and properly sourced as already having already cleared a notability standard for some other reason independent of their candidacy, and county councillors are eligible for Wikipedia articles only if they can be well-sourced as significantly more notable than the norm. But the only references here are his own primary source biography on the self-published website of his own employer, which does not count as valid support for notability, and a raw table of election results. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins the assembly seat, but nothing here is enough to already get him a Wikipedia article today.

Delete- failure of WP:POLITICIAN, county commissioner is not notable and neither is congressional candidate.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:43, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and create again if he wins the June 5 special election (which I consider highly likely but that is just my opinion). If someone wants to write a neutral, well-referenced article about that special election, then he can be covered there along with the other candidate, Republican Justin M. Clark.

To clarify, his county commissioner post is pretty trivial, as there are many such advisory commissions. If he was a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, that would be a powerful claim of notability, since that five member body represents over ten million people. Los Angeles County is by far the most populous county in the United States, with more residents than 42 states. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per Nom and Cullen; an article on the special election would be a good contribution. if someone starts one, I will change my iVote to Redirect.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:00, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
