Speedy deletion nomination of Waleed Shahid

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Waleed Shahid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

The sources you provided were either by him rather than about him, or WP:UGC, none of them meeting Wikipedia's need for reliable, verifiable, independent sources. He doesn't seem to me to meet the criteria of WP:NPOL. The timing of the article's creation doesn't help either - following so soon after the end of Cynthia Nixon's campaign it could be seen as advertising (WP:G11) for a new job. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 09:38, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean by the timing being off -- I didn't realize that would be a concern, and I see what you mean by sources. I'll look into this --Perplextase (talk) 12:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again Cabayi, I replied to your concerns on the Talk page for Waleed Shahid but I can repeat it here in case you prefer that:

So I've added sources that are not by Waleed Sahid. I think they qualify as sufficient? They also demonstrate his notoriety insofar as he is cited and consulted as an important political organizer by established publications like the Guardian, Washington Post, and the Intercept. Concerning the concern that the timing, right after his position with the Cynthia Campaign, is... awkward, maybe I could remove the blurb about where his writings appear, because that is the most "plug" looking part of the new article. And his notoriety is more as an organizer than author (although he is a prolific author) --Perplextase (talk) 13:13, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
