Stanley Chang[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Neither being a local councillor nor putting himself forward as a candidate for state office makes him notable (see WP:POLITICIAN), nor is there evidence of satisfying the general notability guidelines. References include non-independent sources such as http://stanleychang.com/, a page which merely includes his name in a list of candidates, brief reports doing little more than announce his candidacy, parochial coverage such as a mention of his candidacy in a school newspaper, an announcement that his membership of the bar association has been suspended because of non-payment of dues, and a couple of pages that don't even mention him. None of this could remotely be considered to be substantial coverage in third-party sources. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2013 (UTC) JamesBWatson (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Does not qualify for an article under WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG at this time. For now, Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Hawaii, 2014, where he is already mentioned. That's the usual practice for candidates for office. This preserves the article history for possible expansion into a standalone article if he should win the seat or otherwise become more notable. Could also be redirected to Honolulu City Council but I think the congressional election is a better bet. --MelanieN (talk) 17:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Hawaii, 2014, which is our established practice in such cases. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 22:04, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
