A political candidate with the coverage expected of this - doesn't meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON. Boleyn (talk) 07:55, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2018#District 24 - redirects are cheaper than deletion, and it is plausible. If he is elected it preserves the article history; if not, it discourages recreation of what would otherwise be a redlink. Win-win-win. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 10:20, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with that suggestion. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 11:24, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per substantial coverage of his political and business activities. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2018#District 24. Can be potentially created sometime in future. Article at present is not bad and needs some more edits like addition of categories. Excelse (talk) 05:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect. Being an as yet non-winning candidate in a future election is not a notability claim in and of itself, but nothing here makes a strong enough or sufficiently sourced claim that he has preexisting notability under another inclusion criterion.

• Delete To begin with, it is some time until the primary election in Florida, we have not even passed the filing deadline to run, so Sola is not for sure even going to be the Republican candidate. Only if he wins in the general election, will he be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:24, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The provided sources are sufficient. @FloridaArmy Please elaborate the article to pass WP:BIO. Genome$100 (talk) 13:54, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, the provided sources aren't sufficient — seven of the 11 footnotes are primary sources that cannot assist notability at all, and he's merely namechecked in, not substantively the subject of, two of the remaining four. That is not what constitutes "sufficient" sourcing to make a person notable enough for an encyclopedia article.Bearcat (talk) 03:55, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - As per John Pack Lambert and Bearcat, fails WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:06, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
