Clearly fails WP:NPOL as a member of the YMCA Youth Parliament. Most likely written by either a friend or the subject himself. GPL93 (talk) 03:22, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles for serving in youth parliaments — NPOL requires people to hold office in real legislatures, not educational mock legislatures that have no actual political power. But nothing else here is a notability claim at all, and the references (a mix of primary sources, "local kid does stuff" human interest pieces in his local newspaper, glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things or people and purely tangential verification of stray facts about other people which completely fails to mention Capovilla at all in conjunction with them) are not adding up to a WP:GNG-based exemption from having to pass any SNGs.

Redirect? Hello, I am new at editing and creating pages. I apologise for not meeting the criteria to warrant an individual page. Perhaps instead of straight-up deleting the page, a redirect to the program page may be more appropriate? YMCA NSW Youth Parliament. FYI for above, I'm not the subject or even a friend, I know of him from the program and knew of his achievements and figured he warranted a page. Thanks again for clarifying that there is specific requirements for that. :) --SeaplaneSilly (talk) 11:39, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To justify a redirect, you would have to demonstrate that he's actually a plausible search term that a significant number of readers are actually likely to expect us to have content about. We don't just automatically redirect every person who exists to a related topic; we need to see actual reasons why a redirect would be warranted. Bearcat (talk) 20:50, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Youth Parliment seems more like a training ground than an actual parliment. Local govt councillors don't get a page, this person is way below even that level. Teraplane (talk) 23:46, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
