James Fitzpatrick
Non-notable (see WP:NN) minor political figure in the UK. Has not stood for electoral office himself: his main claim to fame is that he is the son of Jim Fitzpatrick MP, and was an election agent in the 2005 general election. There are thousands of children of MPs in the UK, and I cannot see that any except perhaps the children of Prime Ministers achieve notability simply by reason of their parentage. Secondary claim to fame is as an an election agent, another non-notable role (even Tony Blair's agent, John Burton, who achieves a degree of notability at election time, does not have an article here, although he probably should have).

 * Sorry, I should have linked to the term in my nomination. Now done: see Election agent. --User:BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 13:19, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Basically, in American terms, a campaign manager, though the UK system actually has some legal responsibility attached. Unless you're Karl Rove, doesn't make you notable. Fan1967 14:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
