Jen Hunter

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

Non-notable failed political candidate, fails WP:BIO.  RGTraynor  19:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - There seem to be plenty of references to establish notability. Just because a political candidate didn't win an election doesn't mean they aren't notable.  Nutiketaiel (talk) 19:25, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply: From WP:BIO: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Of the four independent sources presented in the article, two discuss the local Green party's chances generally, one is a letter to the editor taking umbrage at one of the other sources, and the final one discusses Hunter's platform should she be elected.  None are about Hunter.  Do you have any reliable, substantive sources about Hunter to proffer?    RGTraynor  20:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Response - How about, or , or or  or .  All are independent, reputable sources that reference Jen Hunter and/or her candidacy.  Nutiketaiel (talk) 21:34, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * One doesn't mention her at all, two mention her name only once in a heap of other political info, and none are genuine "substantive" sources. It is not enough to "reference" a person.  Per WP:GNG, ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive."   RGTraynor  23:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Nut... is correct in saying that losing candidates can be notable (after all, Theodore Roosevelt lost a US presidential election!), but unlike some other losing candidates, Hunter doesn't pass notability critiria otherwise. Nyttend (talk) 20:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - the references provided don't give sufficient evidence of lasting notability, only passing coverage of a candidate who was subsequently not elected. Terraxos (talk) 00:29, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails non-trivial reliable sources. -Djsasso (talk) 15:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Green Party candidates, 2008 Canadian federal election per established consensus for unelected political candidates who aren't independently notable. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to that.   RGTraynor  19:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom (no redirect) lacks non-trivial coverage by reliable third party sources. JBsupreme (talk) 09:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  12:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Green Party candidates, 2008 Canadian federal election. Might as well point to where we have info on her. Double Blue  (Talk) 01:07, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
