  • Delete The subject is a candidate for mayor in Phoenix, Arizona. All the coverage appears to be local, and candidates for a local position must receive national or international coverage to meet WP:NPOL or meet WP:GNG prior to their campaign for office. --Enos733 (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all of the sources are his mayoral announcement and. He isn't independently notable of his mayoral race, and he's not presumed to be notable because of his mayoral race either. Fails GNG, NPOL. SportingFlyer talk 15:30, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates for mayor of their city — and campaign-related coverage in the local media does not get a candidate over WP:GNG in and of itself, because campaign-related coverage in the local media always exists for every candidate in any election. To get over GNG, he would have to either (a) already have preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him a Wikipedia article anyway, or (b) have his campaign-related coverage explode so far out of the ordinary and expected that he had a credible claim to being more notable than most other mayoral candidates in most other cities. But neither of those things has been shown true here (and no, the historic firsts that he will represent if he wins an election he hasn't won yet are not strong claims of specialness for a candidate, either). Certainly this will be recreatable on or after election day if he wins, but nothing here is a reason why he would already qualify for an article this far in advance of the election.

  • Delete coverage will exist for every candidate for mayor. That does not make them notable. Phoenix is a large enough city that if Sanchez is elected mayor he will be a shoe-in for notability. However he has not yet won the election, so until that happens he is not notable. I have to admit my personal desire is to keep this article for various reasons, but Sanchez does not meet our inclusion criteria at present.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:48, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
