  • Delete. Being an organizer for a political party does not confer an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL — political parties typically have thousands of organizers and volunteers working for them, so they can't all be automatically notable on that basis in and of itself — but this article makes no claim that he's held any office which would clear the bar. And the sourcing here is dependent almost entirely on primary source confirmation of his existence on the websites of directly affiliated organizations, with virtually no reliable source coverage of the type it would take to pass WP:GNG. Also, straight WP:AUTOBIO if you check the creator's username — but people aren't allowed to get into Wikipedia by writing about themselves. No prejudice against recreation in the future — by somebody other than the subject himself — if he ever actually wins election to a notable office, but Wikipedia is not a public relations platform or a LinkedIn clone.
