Mr Mahone is a notable politician, and is currently in office for several different roles within his constituency. Evidence can be provided if necessary to confirm that this request is genuine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmahone040499 ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 24 January 2017 (UTC) Good Evening, I have provided roughly 10 verified sources to prove the legitimately of the article, that includes sources from places such as County Council's and local governments, plus board meetings which verify the legitimacy of the individual. The page is now being linked and updated more with more Wikipedia articles. As much evidence can be provided as possible as needed. I hope this has settled the issue. Can this dispute now be closed please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmahone040499 ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete no notability at this point in the career of a very young politician; WP:TOOSOON. Suggest User:Jmahone040499 might want to look at WP:RS. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 19:46, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Reliable sources have been provided in References in article. Notability is signifiant, as national representative of young people in Parliament. MYP's are the only political organization which are given permission to sit and debate in Parliament with MP's outside of MP's. MYP's also have direct links with MP's and are a sponsor to HM Government and HOC Parliament, evidence can be provided of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmahone040499 ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 26 January 2017 (UTC) Correct. As well as the StudentVoice initiative, which is a similar organization with different protocols and priorities with a higher position. This gives evidence that the political portfolio (therefore notability) is growing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmahone040499 ( talk • contribs) 22:13, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Note this discussion is about a young man elected to the UK Youth Parliament. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 20:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. The UK Youth Parliament is not a level of political office that passes WP:NPOL — it has no legislative power, but simply serves as a lobby group to present the views of youth to the people who actually have the power to make actual political decisions — and the sourcing here is not strong enough to make a WP:GNG claim in lieu, as it is based entirely on primary sources with the exception of one piece of purely routine media coverage in his local newspaper. Creator is also advised to familiarize himself with our conflict of interest rules — even if a person is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, the road to getting one still does not pass through writing it himself. We are not a public relations database or a social networking site; we are an encyclopedia, but nothing here constitutes a reason why Justin Mahone belongs in an encyclopedia yet.
