Comment: Not enough independent, significant coverage showing that this local politician is notable. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 14:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: WP:COI and tone have not been addressed. See discussion Greenman (talk) 17:12, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Right off the bat:
Andy Hopper has been a Conservative activist in Texas since 2020.
"Has been" type language should be replaced by "is a" type language. UtherSRG (talk) 19:17, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: See WP:NPOL - the sources you have are either not independent (affiliated with Hopper), database entries or similar, or have only brief mentions of Hopper. Are there newspaper articles from independent sources with at least a couple paragraphs of substantive content about him? Rusalkii (talk) 23:01, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
