NN former election candidate, never having received over 1% of the vote is hardly a claim to noteability. Seems to be vanity, certainly doesn't meet WP:BIO pm_shef 21:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. The nominator's accusations any given article on an unsuccessful political candidate in Canada is vanity violate assuming good faith. Here it impugns creator CJCurrie, a nonpartisan expert on Canadian political history and one of the best Wikipedia editors I have ever come across. Checking the history to see who has contributed to an article is about the least respect a nominator should have before putting it to everybody's attention on afd, and certainly before lobbing such a charge.

 * Comment I did say "seems to be", but I do apologize if I was mistaken. Still, the rest of my points still stand. Doesn't meet WP:BIO - pm_shef 23:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)


 * While I realize that not everybody agrees on the notability of unelected political candidates, the precedent has already been set that federal candidates are entitled at least to inclusion in a merged list. Either keep or merge into a CHP candidates list; precedent already excludes outright deletion as an option. Bearcat 00:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless there's some other claim to notability. There isn't. Merge if you can find an article for his party. Fan1967 01:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Note There is one, at Christian Heritage Party candidates, 2004 Canadian federal election. Fan1967 02:10, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
