Talk:Shan Oakes

People who are merely candidates are not normally considered notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.40.111.79 (talk) 09:24, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * ... and none of the citations given constitute substantial, independent, reliable source coverage of Ms Oakes.


 * ... surely this election renders her the only notable candidate outside of David Davis and a good number of people will be interested in finding out more about her. I'd rather see this article improved (esp. sourcing) rather than removed. Other notable elections - like the London Mayoralty had pages for most of the candidates and no-one sought to have those removed, even the minor ones.

 * This has now gone to an AfD discussion, so further comments should go there. Bondegezou (talk) 12:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:SPS
I have WP:SPS concerns about the sentence, "David Davis himself has admitted that the Green Party are his most serious contenders in the by-election." The support for this is a Green party webpage and no direct quote is even given. Hardly reliable! Bondegezou (talk) 07:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have removed the claim from the article but have repeated it here for discussion.
 * According to the Green Party, David Davis himself admitted to them that the Green Party are his most serious contenders in the by-election.
 * The current support for the claim is a blog entry by Shan Oakes. An independent source is required before the claim can be restored to the article. Road Wizard (talk) 13:41, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
