Non-notable congressional candidate. I fail to see how she passes WP:GNG or WP:NPOL given that most of the articles cited on this page are minor blogs or routine coverage of her campaign announcement from local news outlets. The only national-level articles cited here are the ones from Voice of America and the Washington Post, both of which only have 1 sentence mentioning Kaul.

Keep: Candidate is notable beyond the United States. She has gotten major notability from several outlets in India and Pakistan - both English speaking countries and bona fide users of Wikipedia in English, as she stands to be the first individual of Kashmiri origin to serve in the United States Congress. This fact alone merits preservation, as it contributes to the historical and cultural record, offering insight into the evolving landscape of American political representation. Furthermore, her traction is highlighted by the amount of financial support she has garnered in her electoral campaign, surpassing established politicians by a significant margin, is a testament to her widespread appeal and the public interest in her candidacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel G Rego (talk • contribs) 02:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A few articles about her candidacy is not "major notability" in the US or otherwise. Per WP:NPOL, being an candidate for office doesn't establish notability, so the fundraising argument is irrelevant. The fact that she *would be* the first Kashmiri person in Congress is also irrelevant. Should we just give a Wikipedia article to every single Kashmiri person who runs for Congress? Also, it's pretty clear by the WP:PROMO language you're using that you have a vested interest in this issue and want to keep this page because you support Kaul's candidacy.

Dear Sir/Madam: This is a respectul reminder to uphold the principles of WP:EQ and maintain a standard of civility in our discourse. Your counter-argumentation strays from these core values, veering into character assassination, baseless accusations, and attempts to denigrate fellow Wikipedians. Such tactics not only undermine the spirit of collaborative and respectful dialogue but also detract from the substantive discussion at hand: the merits and demerits of the article in question.

It may be helpful to link these Indian and Pakistani articles you are referring to, if there is widespread and in-depth coverage of this individual. Otherwise, this comment is meaningless for the purposes of the AfD. - Skipple ☎ 05:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (or partial merge) >>> 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia#District 10 Djflem (talk) 14:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 08:22, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing much, if any, in-depth independent coverage of the individual outside of the 2024 campaign. WP:NPOL and WP:CRYSTAL apply. Agree with Djflem to redirect and partial merge to 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia#District 10 for now. - Skipple ☎ 05:33, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
