Adequately sourced WP:BLP on a city council candidate. Per our longstanding precedent, articles on unelected candidates for political office should demonstrate WP:SIGCOV independent of their campaign, campaign-related coverage previously being held as WP:ROUTINE. All sources in this article relate to the candidate's political campaign. Chetsford ( talk) 22:40, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Getting 11% of the primary vote for city council does not make you a politician, even if you whine about missing yard signs. Reywas92 Talk 00:18, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Hoffman is only one of 50 candidates seeking to fill 7 of 9 Seattle city council seats. Article seems to be in violation of WP's rule of not being seen as providing a platform to enhance any political candidate's public profile. All the hullabaloo surrounding the 8chan threats against Hoffman due to the Israeli flag hanging on his property was first publicized by MEMRI, a partisan advocacy org.
