 * Delete Unelected candidate would not meet WP:NPOL. Having a lot of twitter followers is not WP:GNG, and I don't think being deputy leader of UKUP would count as WP:NPOL as it's an unelected position and important to internal dynamics of the party than anything else.

 * Delete looking at the sources in the article, he fails WP:GNG and also WP:NPOL as has never been elected to office. SportingFlyer  talk  05:02, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The references here aren't cutting it in terms of making him notable enough for inclusion just for being an unsuccessful candidate. Two of them are blogs, not reliable sources; two are his own primary source social networking and "staff contributor" profiles, not reliable sources; one is a Q&A interview in which he's speaking about something other than himself, which is not a notability-supporting source as he isn't its subject; and one is a raw table of election data, which is not a notability-supporting source as he isn't its subject. And the sources which are actually both reliable and about him aren't supporting any substantive notability claim — most are simply the expected coverage that every candidate in every district in the entire United Kingdom could always show, and the only one that's actually doing something is a single book review which isn't enough to singlehandedly make him notable as a writer in lieu of his not being a notable politician. Nope, this cuts no ice. Bearcat (talk) 07:13, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
