Eric Strachan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Young politician running for office. No notable media coverage, notability is dubious. Article creater is a single-purpose account. bender235 (talk) 14:53, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Local election candidates do not meet WP:POLITICIAN purely by virtue of being candidates. They may meet WP:BIO if they have achieved enough coverage, but I see no signs that this person has. Valenciano (talk) 12:32, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Unelected candidates for office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — if you cannot make a credible and properly sourced claim that he was already notable enough for an article before becoming a candidate, then he has to win the seat rather than just run for it. But no strong claim of preexisting notability has been shown here, and too much of the sourcing is either primary (his own social networking profiles, press releases on the city's website) or not actually about him at all (the entire history of the entire Clan Strachan).

 * Delete - as per nom and above editors. Does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:13, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Valenciano and Bearcat above: A person running for, not yet elected, to office, and the office is a city council anyway, so nothing here that would meet WP:POLITICIAN. No evidence of significant third-party literature specifically about this person, so no WP:GNG either. --Closeapple (talk) 13:54, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
