 * Delete. In order for an unelected candidate to be notable, the candidate needs reliable coverage or notability outside the election, and this hasn't happened.  Graymornings (talk) 00:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The candidate of a major party in the UK (or US) political system for a recognized constituency is notable,even if he does not get elected. However, there should be some attempt to find additional information. People don'tnormally achieve thiswithout something in the newspapers to cite. DGG (talk) 01:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So cite it, I can't find anything. --Malleus Fatuorum 01:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * DGG, sorry but no they're not unless they get elected to a notable enough political body or achieve fame through third party sources for something else. No evidence of that in this case. Valenciano (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I have grave doubts as to whether we should have bio-articles on prospective Parliamentary candidates, long before an election is called, but I am not sure of the policy on this . We certainly do (and should not have them for councillors, on the one hand.  We do have them for elected MPs on the other.  I am uncertain where we should draw the line. According to WP:POLITICIAN, candidates (even for national office) are NN until elected, unless of course they meet notability criteria for other reasons.
