Talk:Walter Aolari

from VfD: Article non-notable and was flagged for cleanup. This article is associated with an unsuccessful candidate whose attempt is already documented in the associated election results.
 * Delete. Came sixth and last in the 203 Vaughan Riding with a distinctly unimpressive 192 votes (0.38%). If someone is getting less than 1% of the vote we shouldn't even begin to contemplate the merest possibility of considering them the slightest bit notable. Average Earthman 12:47, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yet another unnotable election candidate. If a notable person, this article doesn't indicate why. Jallan 17:47, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough. The Recycling Troll 20:57, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep Candidates for federal legislatures are notable. Dsmdgold 21:24, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete Otherwise we get 1,000 stubs everytime a country has an election - candidature in itself is not notable. Jongarrettuk 22:35, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep We're unlikely to get 1,000 stubs after every election for the simple reason that there isn't sufficient interest for such articles to be created. Those that *are* created are fair commentaries on figures who have chosen to enter the public sphere; I see no reason to delete this information.  CJCurrie 23:38, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacking notability for an encyclopedia, and the article is also nothing more than a substub with name, employment, and "run for election". -- Chris 73 Talk 00:49, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * I notice a certain trend around VfD: unelected political candidates for minor parties are notable for their candidacy alone, if they're American. Ten minutes of searching gave me Beau Gunderson, Jerry Kohn, Tim Smith, Tom Bailey, Andrés Soto, Gayle McLaughlin, Nicole Sarmiento and Rick Griffin, and I'm sure countless others would show up if I kept looking. But if they're Canadian, watch the deletes come out of the woodwork. Keep as equally notable to anyone on that list, or VfD that list too. Bearcat 02:33, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Well, those are new articles, that've never been VfD'd, so you can't call shenanigans yet. I say VfD a couple of them, then speedy delete the rest, citing precedent. GWO 15:08, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lost pathetically, had no impact. Lord Bob 16:57, Oct 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unless there is other evidence of notability. Rossami 03:09, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. See comments for Magnus Thompson. Why are we still adding these pages to VfD when similar pages are open for debate? Let's settle this in one place, and then apply the policy across the board instead opening up a dozen VfDs.Kevintoronto 15:59, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - unelected candidate with no other evidence of notability. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:42, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - SimonP 04:23, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)
