Publication of non-notable and unverified information. Kamala Harris has not begun a presidential campaign nor has announced the intention of doing so. Following what to do before an AFD, the article was moved into draftspace to wait until an official announcement. Drafticiation failed, so next step is deletion. Fails WP:V, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:OR, and currently due to lack of actual sources, WP:Notability. Honestly, since this is 100% unverified, this might actual count as a WP:HOAX violation, since the "Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign" does not even exist yet.

Kommentar: An AfD is probably the worst possible action here. Right now the article certainly should not exist, and should be a draft as you said, but just because someone moved it back once doesn't mean we should jump into an AfD right away; by the time this AfD closes in a week, I have no doubt that Kamala will have begun campaigning or formally accept that she is the new presumptive nominee. I suggest instead working it out with the user who undraftified this article, @JD John M. Turner. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 20:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with Flemmish. Ktkvtsh (talk) 20:05, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would bet a thousand dollars that Kamala runs for president. This article should stay unless she says she wont run. Lukt64 (talk) 20:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move back to draft: While the article clearly isn't ready to be published, that's no reason to delete it outright. While Harris hasn't announced a campaign yet everyone expects her to run, as evidenced by the amount of times this article has been created and deleted today. WP:SALT the page for now to ensure this doesn't happen again, and if Harris doesn't run after all we can just delete the draft, no harm no foul. Speedy keep now that's she's announced one.

After President Biden endorsed her to lead the ticket, Harris called the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Steven Horsford, and said “that she intended to run and earn it and win it,” according to a congressional official familiar with the discussion. The C.B.C.’s political arm has endorsed Harris.
