Alan Francis (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable political candidate who does not pass WP:NPOL. Only one of the references, the one from the Mirror, is remotably notable; the BBC "reference" is just the results of the election he came in fourth place in, and all the other references are either from primary sources or from a local radio station. The positions he has actually held over the years are all non-notable. HAWTH OFF HEAD TALK 03:57, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Neither having stood as a candidate in elections he did not win nor serving on the organizational board of a political party are "inherent" notability freebies under WP:NPOL, and the article does not demonstrate that he has preexisting notability for other things independently of his political activity.

 * Delete unelected political candidates are not default notable and we do not have enough sourcing to show Francis notable on his own merits.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:36, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES. We almost always delete local/regional party leaders. Bearian (talk) 14:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Failed political candidate and internal party apparatchik are not enough to meet WP:NPOL. Bkissin (talk) 21:21, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
