Does not pass WP:NPOL as he hasn't held state-wide public office, at the very least. Bedivere (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Statewide office is not a requirement for an individual to meet NPOL. The majority of bios on Wikipedia are of individuals who have not held statewide or higher office. His notability comes from management of two very notable campaigns for national offices (Donnelly’s senate and Buttigieg’s presidential) and his leadership of a state political party organization.

He is presented as a "political figure serving as the chair of the Indiana Democratic Party". Being the chair of a regional political party is nowhere being a notable politician. Bedivere (talk) 22:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:GNG. Chairs of state parties often are notable. Andre🚐 22:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This person, notable primarily as the chair of a state-level political party is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the article isn't referenced well enough to get them over WP:GNG. This is not what it takes to make a political operative notable enough for an encyclopedia article. --Bedivere (talk) 22:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another repetitive reply that in no way rebuts whether this person meets GNG. Andre🚐 22:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This obviously constitutes significant coverage, suggesting that the subject does in fact pass WP:GNG. Curbon7 (talk) 03:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he meets our notability guidelines. Lightburst (talk) 04:19, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
