Does not pass WP:NPOL as he hasn't held state-wide public office, at the very least. Bedivere (talk) 21:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, meets WP:GNG. Wikler is not a holder of public office, he is a state party official. I will also note this article survived a PROD 7 years ago and was created by Aaron Swartz. Andre🚐 22:19, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  This person, notable primarily as the chair of a state-level political party is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the article isn't referenced well enough to get them over WP:GNG. This is not what it takes to make a political operative notable enough for an encyclopedia article. --Bedivere (talk) 22:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  You've been mass nominating AFDs of Democratic party state chairs but this guy is actually quite notable. Did you read the article? It passes by a mile. Andre🚐 22:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, he has received significant coverage, such as here, here, here, and more. Kornatice (talk) 22:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and Wisconsin. Shellwood (talk) 22:25, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Withdrawn as this person is obviously notable beyond being the chair of the state Dem. Party. --Bedivere (talk) 22:27, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, please actually read the articles you nominate for deletion. Andre🚐 22:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I do read them. Bedivere (talk) 22:37, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
