Gary Ridley (politician)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject is a local politician and failed in two runs for Parliament. Small amount of local coverage. Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Safiel (talk) 19:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The simple solution in the last AfD was to redirect to Coventry North West (UK Parliament constituency) where he ran unsuccessfully in 2010 but he more recently (2015) lost an election in Coventry South (UK Parliament constituency) so we now have two equally good (or equally bad depending on on one's point of view) redirection targets. So in a way, the outcome of the AfD should really be keep or delete. Pichpich (talk) 21:02, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete candidates for public office are rarely notable, and nothing about him makes him notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:58, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG as just a candidacy is not notable. His current position won't make him notable either...Rameshnta909 (talk) 19:08, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
