Ayesha Haider; BC NDP Candidate for Burnaby-North

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The subject fails the notability requirements of WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. She's just a candidate running for a nomination at this point, and the only 2 articles I found on her talk briefly about the fact that she is running. She is not yet notable, though may become notable later. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:41, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, on the premise she is using wikipedia as an advertising venue, in this cause case a campaign promotion venue.Curb Chain (talk) 10:27, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nom, I would support a Speedy delete.  PK  T (alk)  12:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a campaign tool. Resolute 14:35, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per promotional reasons. I searched her on Yahoo and Google with no avail in results. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a blog. SwisterTwister   talk  05:09, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia has a longstanding principle that even candidates who make it onto the ballot in an actual election don't necessarily qualify for articles just for being candidates — and by definition, they're more notable than people who are merely candidates in a candidate selection process. And even if she does go on to ultimately win election to the provincial legislature when that time comes, the plain title "Ayesha Haider" will suffice rather than this extended silliness.
