This is not a very well known person. Minor political activist. Never held publicly elected position. Robellion (talk) 13:26, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet WP:GNG: no in-depth coverage in reliable independent sources. There are a few comments from him and mentions of him, but nothing much about him. He has been published as a writer in a few blogs/magazines but nothing that attracted significant comment or reviews. And he hasn't held political office sufficient to make him automatically notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:40, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being the chair of a political party's youth wing is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself — it can get him an article if he can be shown to clear WP:GNG for it, but it does not hand him an automatic presumption of notability on bad sources just because he exists. But the sources here aren't supporting a GNG pass at all, as it's based almost entirely on primary sources rather than reliable source coverage in media.
