Contested prod. User states that election to local council and youth parliament asserts notability. Actually, fails WP:POLITICIAN as has not (yet) been elected to international, national or first-level sub-national (i.e. state) office. This page will probably need to be recreated when, as likely, McLindon wins election for the seat he is contesting, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Frickeg (talk) 22:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article lead claims he is a musician and politician, but there is absolutely no mention of a musical career in the rest of the article... If anything, he's a local city councillor that is known due to one brief moment of live television chaos... Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:POLITICIAN, WP:BLP1E, as well as WP:CRYSTAL... - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above arguements. Added as part of a pov push for upcoming election.--Dmol (talk) 23:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment This claim&mdash;"Australia's youngest politically endorsed candidate"&mdash;could see the article worth keeping if it can be reliably sourced. If not, then yes, this is just another candidate article and should be treated in the same manner; i.e. delete or redirect to election article. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As a sidenote (and I'm aware the debate is closed), he is 30 years old. I can think of various MPs in various states, all endorsed political candidates at elections, who have been significantly younger than that - Matt Smith in Tasmania (1998) who was 20 years old at his election, and Jaye Radisich (2001) who was 24. Brian Burke was 25 at his election, and David Parker (WA) was already a Minister by the age of 29. Orderinchaos 05:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
