Encyclopedism[edit]

Is that political commentator encyclopedical? I ask cause in polish wiki politician has to lead party which gained almost 1% in national election or having been elected as MP to be acknowledged to be worth mentioned on wikpedia. I think Stephen Berry isn't recognisable NZ's political figure. He seems to be known only by narrow new zealand liberatrian environment.The Wolak (talk) 21:28, 16 May 2021 (UTC) The Wolak[reply]

The baseline criteria for having a Wikipedia page is passing WP:GNG. He may have never been leader of a party or been elected, but he has received significant media coverage for his controversial activities over years. This is why he has a page and most candidates don't. Nexus000 (talk) 22:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
