Article about politician who does not have presumed notability as per WP:NPOL. Coverage appears to be in local press related to election which he did not win. Mariamnei ✦ ^{reach out 🕊️} 10:03, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

I said keep, i don't think this is just routine election coverage, the subject has received coverage from multiple independent reliable sources, including The Straits Times, The Jakarta Post, and Associated Press, The Straits Times and The Jakarta Post each published articles specifically about Chong Sung Kim, covering his background, naturalization, legal career, and campaign, rather than simply listing him as a candidate. There is also additional coverage from Indonesian national media. Based on these sources, I believe the article meets WP:GNG. Being unsuccessful in an election does not by itself make a subject non-notable.

If you would like to keep this article (I happen to agree with you), you should add appropriate in-line citations. Redvelvetvanilaaaaaaaaa (talk) 14:16, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Keep because meets GNG. Also the citation format in the current article is poor; needs inline citations grapesurgeon (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

• Comment The subject itself is likely met GNG, but given the current state of the article, it seems to be created by LLM. IMO, WP:TNT is better. Ckfasdf (talk) 07:40, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect - candidates for political office are not automatically notable, although a redirect might be appropriate to the election article:2024 Indonesian general election. Bearian (talk) 08:54, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
• Redirect to 2024 Indonesian general election per Bearian. Sources are weak for a BLP and a separate article is not needed when his coverage is all about his unsuccessful election campaign. Eluchil404 (talk) 19:05, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
