Ian A. Vaughan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Candidate for provincial legislature and former local legislator with no evidence of substantial independent coverage. Accordingly, he fails both the general notability guidelines and the specific guidelines for politicians. Were there a list of Reform candidates in the 2009 BC general election, I would have no qualms with turning this into a redirect to that list. In the absence of such a list, this page should be deleted altogether.

There are also conflict of interest/autobiography issues, since User:Haneyguy appeas to be Vaughan. —C.Fred (talk) 20:50, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Also note, if looking for sources, this Ian Vaughan is different from the one in New Democratic Party candidates, 2008 Canadian federal election from Calgary East. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 00:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Appears to be an elected official of minor notability and no likely interest outside the local area. eaolson (talk) 00:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
