Doesn't meet WP:NPOL as an election candidate, fails WP:NBASIC otherwise. C F A 💬 16:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

:Keep, the election is uncontested (Green Party didn't field a nominee) and less than a month away. The position of Shadow Senator is a federal position, equivalent to a senator. There's also a decent amount of coverage already [https://www.newindiaabroad.com/english/people/ankit-jain-wins-democratic-nomination-for-dc-shadow-senator][https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/687391/conspiracy-rumors-roil-the-low-stakes-race-for-d-c-shadow-senator/][https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/719524/city-paper-primary-prep-can-the-old-guard-best-younger-candidates-in-the-shadow-delegation-races/] Microplastic Consumer (talk) 17:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

::I'm not denying they would meet NPOL if elected, but they don't right now. Routine election coverage of candidates is expected and doesn't really count towards anything. I would support a draftification that can be reverted if they win, but right now they are not notable. C F A 💬 17:24, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

:::I think the coverage is decent as is, what reason is there to get rid of the article of a person who has a 99.9999% chance of being elected into office just before an election? Microplastic Consumer (talk) 18:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

::Just a comment, a Republican did file and will be on the ballot. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:36, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

:Delete or draftify per nom (lean draftify IMO). I've talked with the page creator about WP:NPOL already, including a bit about how a candidate's article was not put into mainspace until he actually won the election. Right now, on the page, there are four sources, two are routine coverage, one is an endorsement, and one is Wikipedia:BALLOTPEDIA. Searching on Google doesn't yield much that can be added. They don't seem to pass NPOL or WP:GNG until he actually wins the election. reppop^talk 19:05, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

::I also wouldn't be opposed to draftifying the article until November. Bkissin (talk) 20:41, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

• Redirect to 2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia for now. Recreate when he wins in November. WP:NOTCRYSTAL, things happen between now and election day and as of right now Jain remains an unelected private citizen. Bkissin (talk) 20:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia for now. Recreate after November as/if needed.Djflem (talk) 18:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Draft or redirect, the election is coming up shortly. Wouldn't be notable if they don't win the election, based on what I'm seeing. Not fussed either way, probably !draft. Oaktree b (talk) 20:52, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia. I prefer this over draftification, since if the subject is not ultimately found to be notable, they're still mentioned on the target article and so we have no reason not to have a redirect here. -- asilvering (talk) 00:03, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2024 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia per asilvering. Standalone article is not indicated at this point of time, and the article can be created later if and when notability arises. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
