Article was deleted by AfD five years ago and he doesn't appear any more notable now than he was then. He fails WP:POLITICIAN. Running for a parliamentary seat does not show notability nor does being chairman of a minor party. He's not even mentioned in the party's article except for his unsuccessful bid for a seat in Parliament. I originally redirected the article to the Respect party's article but that was reverted.

 * Keep - As all the sources are dated after April 2009 (which is when the first AfD took place), clearly the subject is more notable then he was back then and the recreation of the article is justified.


 * WP:POLITICIAN lists several grounds for notability including: Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. He appears to meet this criterion therefore he is notable. Tanbircdq (talk) 16:00, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete or Redirect to Respect Party Only coverage appears to be about his unsuccessful candidacy for a seat in Parliament, but merely being a candidate is not enough to show notability. Being chairman of a very minor political party (0 elected local officials), doesn't seem enough to meet WP:POLITICIAN, which is why a redirect is not unreasonable.  He became the party chairman in 2006, so he already held that position when his article was deleted in 2009. Papaursa (talk) 02:01, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete He is still a minor local politician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:04, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Respect Party. As a local councillor he is NN.  Being chairman (not leader) of a minor political party that made a splash at the 2010 election, almost entirely without result - only the re-election of one maverick MP, might give him slight notability, but without evidence of more, I do not think we should keep it.
