The result was redirect to 2022 United States Senate election in Wisconsin. Check back if he wins or otherwise demonstrates evidence of independent notability. RL0919 (talk) 06:01, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

BLP of a person whose notability appears to derive entirely from his status as a candidate for election. But for this I don’t see any basis for our having an article on him. However per WP:NPOL status as a candidate for election does nit meet our notability requirements. Mccapra (talk) 19:36, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to 2022 United States Senate election in Wisconsin. Does not meet WP:NPOL as a political candidate at this point. Also doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG, as most sources briefly mention him in connection to the sports team he is involved with. KidAd • SPEAK 22:21, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- If he were any random candidate for office I'd say redirect, but he's a billionaire co-owner of one of the two NBA teams in the 2021 Finals and was the chief financial driver behind the 2020 DNC in Milwaukee. He's one of the top five most important people in the political and business community of the city of Milwaukee over the last decade and I believe he fits the category of "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage."

It looks like his father (who has his own article) is the billionaire co-owner, not this man. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:47, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unelected candidate for public office. His business activities are not enough on their own to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:09, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
