James Wharton

James Wharton is a recently selected, but by no other means notable, candidate at a future UK general election. The article reads like a CV, possibly copied from his personal site. It fails policy on notability and political candidates. doktorb wordsdeeds 10:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Stockton South (UK Parliament constituency). Common practice that being a Parliamentary candidate does not qualify as notable. (Of course, if he gets elected in 2009/2010, everything changes). Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 10:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Per WP:POLITICIAN, being a candidate doesn't qualify him; nor does being the chair of a local Conservative Party. The only news items I can find mention him in passing, criticising the Labour MP in his constituency. Doesn't count as significant coverage. Olaf Davis | Talk 16:22, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * redirect of course if he gets elected he qualifies, until then in the lack of third party sources he doesn't meet wp:bio for politicians. Valenciano (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
