Speedy deletion nomination of Mike McGuire
A tag has been placed on Mike McGuire, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this article reads like a campaign leaflet

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. TreacherousWays (talk) 00:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

 * The campaign material is quite unacceptable - see Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion - but even if it were replaced with neutral material it does not seem that Mr McGuire meets Wikipedia's satndard of WP:Notability - see also WP:Notability (people) and WP:POLITICIAN. Note particularly that, to prevent Wikipedia being used as a campaign notice-board, being a political candidate does not confer notability. If you are connected with Mr McGuire or his campaign, you should also read our guideline on WP:Conflict of interest. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:22, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
