Daniel Knezetic
Student cum politician. Formed his own party to run in a local 2004 election. Less than 50 displayed hits, many of which are Wikipedia mirrors. According to the article itself, he's running from a "fringe" party, with 'no known platform'. Niteowlneils 21:00, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * Talk:Daniel Knezetic. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93;
 * Delete. Only received 89 votes and 0.17% of the vote, which is clearly not notable in any way shape or form. Average Earthman 09:15, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: People aiming for the other box and missing would give that many votes. Geogre 15:41, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. --Improv 17:50, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least for the moment. We've had discussions like this before, and there seems to be a general consensus that there *is* room on Wikipedia for information of this sort -- it's just a question of how it should be organized.  Some favour short bios on a centralized  "candidates-of-party-x-in-election-y" page (using the candidates's pages as redirects), while others favour the current system of individual bios.

The former method might seem like a good compromise, but it has one serious drawback -- if the fringe candidate runs more than once, his or her information ends up being duplicated (or else necessitates some potentially confusing redirects, which could lead to nasty entanglements if the candidate runs several times for different parties).

This particular page could probably be reduced to a redirect to the PDP page, with the relevant info (such as it is) being summarized there. More generally, though ... while the "individual bios" method is open to abuse it still strikes me as the best way of handling information of this sort (particularly for candidates that have run more than once).

 * Since no-one else has commented since my last post on the subject, I've taken the liberty of reducing the page to a redirect to the party page. Deletion is now unnecessary.  On principle, I still prefer having individual bio pages (in addition to the reason mentioned above, bio pages can be categorized - redirects can't).  CJCurrie 02:08, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
