Delete - fails all notabliity requirements. As per WP:POLOUTCOMES, simply running in an election does not result in notability, regardless of who one's main opponent is. Mr Milani was not elected as an MP. Although he is a local borough councillor, this level of politics is too low level for notability. As per WP:POLITICIAN, a politician must be at least of a subnational (province/state-wide) level to warrant notability. Mr Milani is not a member of the London Assembly (which is county-wide), so fails notability on these grounds too. His only other position of authority - VP of student development at the NUS - is again low-level. Were he NUS president, that would be different, but this position just doesn't seem notable enough for an article. FirefoxLSD ( talk) 18:19, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

- Speedy keep: passes WP:GNG and WP:NPEOPLE easily. See Al Jazeera, CNN, The Guardian, Jewish Chronicle 1, Jewish Chronicle 2, New Statesman, Quartz, Times, Vice etc. in addition to other sources providing non-trivial but not full-length article coverage. WP:NPOL is an additional way (to GNG) that someone can meet notability, not a requirement; WP:POLOUTCOMES is neither. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
