Standalone page

Subject has more notability than only as current U.S. Senate candidate. Consensus on removing the existing redirect and creating a standalone page? silverthief2 6 March 2024

Notability

Hi, the redirect was from 2012- in the years since has has 100% become notable for an article Microplastic Consumer (talk) 14:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at WP:NPOL. Just being a candidate for office does not render notability. It looks to me like the bulk of coverage about Hovde is in regards to his various political campaigns. Marquardtika (talk) 14:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but he is a successful businessman and is the CEO of a large bank in California. While he is not notable as a politician, Hovde is certainly notable as a banker Microplastic Consumer (talk) 14:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide some sources showing that he meets WP:GNG? Marquardtika (talk) 16:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the subject clearly satisfies both WP:N and WP:NPOL. The article includes citations to 22 different sources establishing notability. I'll restore the page. 70.167.90.50 (talk) 16:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
