Articles for deletion nomination of Brad Lander edit
I have nominated Brad Lander, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brad Lander. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. DGG (talk) 02:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- If you want to defend the article, you can find some references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. You are right that the most likely notability will be his previous activities, not his running for city council. the article was nominated for speedy, and I moved it to AfD to give you a chance to find the material.
