I'm nominating this on behalf of an IP editor. Their rationale is:

It does not pass notability test. It was deleted earlier in 2017 and is back

  • Delete. Being chair of a political party's youth committee is not an automatic inclusion freebie under WP:NPOL — but this article makes no claim that he has additional notability for other reasons, and is not referenced well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL: it's referenced entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, with virtually no evidence of any reliable source coverage about him.

  • He isnt chair of a political party's youth committee. The Fabians are an independent organisation and very notable in their own right. Rathfelder ( talk) 15:57, 14 December 2019 (UTC) reply
Leaving aside the fact that the Fabian Society's article explicitly describes it as an affiliate of the Labour Party, even if that's inaccurate it still wouldn't change a darn thing. Even chairs of independent organizations still don't get a notability freebie just for existing, in the absence of any evidence that they clear WP:GNG on the sourcing.
