  • delete this is an advertisement, it's nothing more than a glorified resume/linkedIn and he does not meet WP:NPOL by virtue of being a potential future candidate for office. His position in the Indiana Republican Party is also notable and thus fails inclusion criteria. TAXIDICAE💰 13:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. He has not held any role that confers automatic passage of WP:NPOL just by virtue of holding it, and the sourcing is not good enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to hold an NPOL-passing role. Bearcat (talk) 14:04, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Submitter created this article both in draft space and in article space, which is often done to game the system.

  • Reply This was my fault and was done out of ignorance, not out of a way to game the system. I created a draft but then noticed in the Indiana Republican Party entry there was a red link for Kyle Hupfer to create the article. I thought I could merge my draft with the created article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by MrKatannga (talk • contribs)
  • Delete - Does not meet political notability, but draft also does not address general notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:30, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails both WP:GNG and WP:NPOL Less Unless (talk) 17:35, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As per Bearcat. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 12:05, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Indiana political party chairs have Wikipedia entries. The current and previous Indiana democrat chairs have wikipedia pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Schmuhl, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Zody) and the previous Indiana Republican chair has a page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Cardwell). The current Indiana GOP chair qualifies as a major local political figure.
  • comment references to potential runs for office were deleted and as chairman of a state political party, this qualifies as "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage."
  • comment as a local political figure who's received significant press coverage, this entry qualifies.
  • comment Reply: topic is notable as a local political figure who has received significant press coverage. Previous Indiana Republican Chairmen have Wikipedia pages (see Jeff Cardwell).— Preceding unsigned comment added by MrKatannga (talk • contribs)
MrKatannga I will say this only once, you only get one vote. You need to sign your messages and you should not respond to every single comment here as it WP:BLUDGEONS the discussion. Lastly, please read this essay. The fact that other chairs have articles is irrelevant, they are notable independent of their party chair and finally, your comments go after other comments in chronological order.

Got it, thanks for the clarification. Article creation is new to me and I want to do it the right way. I'll read the essay you linked now. MrKatannga — Preceding undated comment added 15:23, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Based on the timeline, Zody's article was only created to support his failed candidacy. He would probably be eligible for deletion. Schmuhl has only been a political consultant and may also be eligible for deletion. Cardwell has the smallest article of the three, but at least he was an Indianapolis city councillor. Based on only the sourcing in the article, he may also be eligible for deletion, and actually did have his article deleted back in 2009. They may all have claims to notability, but just because they have articles doesn't mean they'll be kept at a deletion discussion. SportingFlyer T·C 21:55, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is an NPOL fail per WP:POLOUTCOMES: Leaders of major sub-national (state, province, prefecture, etc.) parties are usually deleted unless notability can be demonstrated for other reasons.. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:44, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Other stuff exists is not a valid reason to keep. In the US the person who is in all real respects the actual leader of a state political party is the highest elected official from that party. Party chairs are just functionaries. State ones are not default notable and we do not have enough sourcing here to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:19, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
