Helen Flynn (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Disputed prod candidate. Nominated for deletion on grounds of lack of notability. The claimed notability is as an educational campaigner but her highest position is as a member of the national executive of one campaign group, being a national representative of another, and writing articles for the Times Educational Supplement. However she was not the subject of the articles. Every single link to the TES is to an opinion piece apart from one which is a one-line quote.The subject is a Parliamentary candidate, which is by long tradition not enough in itself to confer notability.

 * Redirect to Skipton and Ripon (UK Parliament constituency). Fails notability, on being a PPC does not make someone notable. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 20:38, 1 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep She's not just a PPC - I think there is just enough else to establish notability. ukexpat (talk) 20:44, 1 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete PPCs are not notable by themselves. The links in the article are not enough to prove nobility bcause, as per nom, they include only brief quotes by her, not much about her. Upon being elected, she will satisfy policy by being an MP. Until then, nothing doing. doktorb wordsdeeds 12:07, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Nothing notable about this person per WP:BLP Were there a chance she might be elected that would alter my opinion but this is a safe Conservative seat. -  Gallo glass  14:02, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, save for being elected this person does not reach the bar of notability. RFerreira (talk) 23:22, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * (relectantly) Weak keep and renominate if not elected. We are going to get an enormaous number of campaign biographies between now and General Election.  The time to cull them is after the election.  I have linked the article to the constituency one.  In this safe Tory seat she is unlikely to be elected, but one never knows.
