The result was Delete. While it is possible that he meets notability guidelines (through the discussion below suggests he does not), in light of WP:BLP the lack of sourcing and balance mean that the current article must be deleted. Eluchil404 00:38, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Non-notable person. Ran for office but never elected. Article is also way too self-aggrandizing. Suttungr 03:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Claim to fame is coming in third in an election. 69.116.62.33 03:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Claim to fame is embroiling himself in scandal during an election. Being a defeated candidate is not inherently notable, but he was the subject of (as opposed to merely being mentioned in) news coverage across Canada (and perhaps outside of Canada too; I'm not aware).  Keep. Sarcasticidealist 19:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - NN, resume/autobio, mention he writes letters to the editor of local paper near the end. Speciate 03:37, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I have reverted to a more reasonable revision. Subject has been covered in multiple news articles and is therefore notable. --Alksub 03:42, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete still nothing that clears notability.  Citi Cat   ♫ 04:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. Oysterguitarist 06:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - many references available online; meets policies. --Vonones 06:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. Also, unreferenced negative content in biographies of living persons is sufficient grounds for article deletion.Dominion1867 20:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC) — Dominion1867 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Weak keep seems notable enough, but only just. Rehevkor 18:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable. Bombycil 22:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
