Doesn't appear to meet criteria for wp:politician. Haminoon (talk) 11:16, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Absolutely fails wp:politician and nothing else in the article suggests any other criterion for notability. Closest might be connection with the drama group, but I suspect that it would be the group that qualified for the article, not the individual that founded it. And the article is factually incorrect: he is not the the "Parliamentary candidate", since no election has been called and nominations have not closed! He is a prospective parliamentary candidate.

 * Being an as yet unelected candidate in a forthcoming election is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia — if you cannot properly source that he already passed a Wikipedia inclusion rule for other things before he was named a candidate, then he has to win the election, not merely run in it, to become notable enough. But that hasn't been demonstrated here — we don't even have an article about RicNic itself, for one thing. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in May if he wins.
