Third nomination for deletion. First was successful and resulted in deletion. Article was recreated and second AFD was marked as no consensus. Much of the same comments from the last two nominations still apply. Subject only has routine election coverage or hyper local coverage that is not sufficient for WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Former elected office for a jurisdiction of <40,000 people doesn't seem significant. The article about his ADHD is the only coverage that is neither hyper-local or election related, but I don't think it is sufficient for WP:SIGCOV on its own.

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and Massachusetts. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:58, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
• Comment: Mr. Koh might later be a notable politician once he's elected to something rather more notable than he has been so far. - Denimadept (talk) 22:06, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

• Weak Keep There's enough coverage to justify an article, although it is borderline. , , , , , , , EaglesFan37 (talk) 00:17, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
• Weak, Weak Keep A redirect does not work in this case because this is the second congressional campaign the subject is in. I agree with Bearcat's comment in the first AfD, but I do think the cited Globe article about the struggles with ADHD is strong and the other coverage is just enough to pass GNG. --Enos733 (talk) 04:22, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
• Delete: Clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN, and although User:Enos733 rightly points the coverage type, it lacks any link to his political career. Dz5t 8O12 (talk) 07:13, 27 April 2026 (UTC)
• Draftify If I may suggest an alternative here -- I'm not sure this article is ready for prime-time yet, but I think the subject is favored to win a primary in a district where doing so is tantamount to election. Having a solid article germinating in the meantime seems prudent. DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 11:57, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

• Draftify Draftify this for now, delete & salt if he loses in November, keep & return to article space if he wins in November. At the moment, does not satisfy notability guidelines, so should be incubated in draft space for now. Safiel (talk) 04:59, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
• Comment. I would also be in agreement with draftify or deletion. Edittttor (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
• Draftify until the November election has concluded. If Koh wins, keep, but if he loses, delete. Stephen Sarsalari (talk) 21:15, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
• Draftify - it's not quite ready. The position he held in the White House was basically an intergovernmental lobbyist. Bearian (talk) 21:51, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
