Textbook WP:COATRACK. Article about a person running for a local political position that would not meet the WP:POLITICIAN bar even if he were elected, who has two notable relatives ( WP:NOTINHERITED). His endorsement by a controversial darkhorse mayoral candidate also does not establish notability. The article is just being loaded with irrelevant negative material about other controversial politicians. Was tagged as a WP:BLPPROD but sources were added.

• Delete - Besides the content and sources not precisely giving reasons to show that John meets WP:Notability, the first search result only shows paintings about him, the second is about a fashion show, all of which have nothing to do with him being a politician 6Packs ( talk) 20:45, 30 September 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Doesn't meet notability guidelines, lacks reliable sourcing and also doesn't seem to say anything about the subject to begin with. Citing ( talk) 21:01, 30 September 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete per Ivanvector Yes, I can see now that it was ill advised for me to start the bio as subject is not notable enough in his own right. Nocturnalnow ( talk) 21:47, 30 September 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete. Thing the first, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won. Thing the second, school board trustees don't get Wikipedia articles even if they win the election. Thing the third, people don't get Wikipedia articles just because of who their father and aunt are either. Thing the fourth, seven of the nine footnotes here are to Twitter tweets, which are not reliable or notability-supporting sources, and the other two are glancing namechecks of his existence in news articles that aren't about him — exactly none of which is how you source a person as notable.

• Delete Per WP:NPOL candidates do not have notability on their own. Notability is also not inherited from a more famous relative. Finally, school board trustees are not notable enough to meet even the Municipal politician guidelines (as Bearcat mentioned above). Bkissin ( talk) 14:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC) reply
• Merge' to John Nunziata. Probably deserves a mention and a redirect to his father's page but that is about it. ~ EDDY ^{( talk/ contribs)}~ 13:31, 2 October 2018 (UTC) reply
