 * Delete As per nom. Clearly fails WP:NPOL. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 02:05, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPOL. He has attained significant press coverage, even featuring in UK news. He has been on television during his time at Philip Morris. He has been reported on Kiwiblog several times for both politics and debating. He has been a staffer for at least two government ministers. Also meets the general notability criterion in WP:N due to wide independent press coverage. Wipkipkedia (talk) 02:54, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NPOL. All sorts of crazy stunts and name-calling during election season, none of which leads to notability unless elected. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's established practice here that we delete articles about mere candidates. Bearian (talk) 21:59, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete He has not been elected. Other coverage is not enough to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
