Talk:Ross Thomson

Gordon Brown called a General Election in the UK this morning. It is necessary and proper to democracy that the electorate has access to information on all the candidates involved in each constituency. I just happened to have got a leaflet from this chap through the door and noticed he's not on Wikipedia, yet the contending incumbent MP is. Given he's run for a seat in the Scottish Parliament before and is a candidate to be one of 646 men and women running the United Kingdom, he is absolutely of note (as are all the other candidates... I just don't have their leaflets).

Perhaps remove deletion tag for political neutrality (or wikipedia could be seen as biased toward incumbent candidates) and then consider again on May 7th (day after the General Election)? Would be more sensible than speedy deletion. --Alexanderryland (talk) 14:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Also note that another candidate (who has also stood for one previous election, like Ross) in this constituency that holds no political office nor significant notability other than this general election is found on Wikipedia. He is the Scottish National Party candidate Richard Thomson.--Alexanderryland (talk) 14:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Cocaine prank?
Why is there no mention of this in the article?
 * Because it's not really that important? This article isn't intended to be a list of things Mr Thomson has been criticised for in his political career. Otherwise all politician's articles would just be a total mess. — 🦊 00:31, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Stranger's Bar Incident, Feb 2019
Obviously this will attract some very biased edits both from supporters of RT or the conservative party who are keen to downplay the allegations as far as they can get away with as well as some extremely unflattering edits from those who are keen to exaggerate published details of the incident as far as they can get away with. Let's stick to the facts: nothing added and nothing taken away. Noel darlow (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
