Non-notable former congressional candidate. Given the coverage cited on this page, it's clear that Kulkarni received more media attention than your average congressional candidate, but I don't think a few articles in national outlets is enough. Plus, in the 4 years since his last congressional run, Kulkarni seems to have received zero media coverage. The fact that his media attention completely dried up the moment he was no longer running shows that he isn't notable and that people probably won't be searching for him in 10 years. This article was previously nominated for deletion in May, but that discussion was closed as "no consensus" after only 1 editor participated. That editor voted keep--but they seem to have a personal connection to Kulkarni, judging by the fact that they uploaded the photo of him on the page and tagged it as "own work."

Delete per nomination and reasons given in first AfD--Mpen320 (talk) 05:26, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. As it has already had another AFD, Soft Deletion is not an option. Hopefully, we'll see more editors participating in the coming week.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, AfD consensus is generally that coverage in the context of being an unsuccessful candidate for public office does not contribute to WP:GNG or WP:NPOL, and there's insufficient WP:SIGCOV outside of his campaigns. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:15, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
