Geoffrey Alexander Campbell

 * – ( View AfD View log )

As an unelected candidate he fails WP:NPOL and I can't see anything in WP:BEFORE in any other context to indicate that he passes WP:GNG. Ingratis (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete unless he passes WP:GNG for some other accomplishment. This is probably someone else with the same name. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 13:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Politician who does not meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:50, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete defeated politicians are almost never notable, nothing suggests that Campbell is one of the very rare exceptions to this rule.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:05, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for running as candidates in elections they did not win; the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one. But there's no other claim of preexisting notability for other reasons being made here, and no discernible evidence that his candidacy would pass the ten year test as a special case of significantly greater and more enduring notability than everybody else's candidacies.
