This individual has no notability documented within the article or upon a brief search and thus WP:POLITICIAN suggests that this should be forwarded to the page for the next election in his riding -- which unfortunately has yet not been called. So this should be deleted until the election is called. has been called for September 4 2012, but to the best of my knowledge no one has created the relevant page for the election in the riding. Therefore I suggest this should be deleted. Ubelowme U Me  18:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * For the record, the relevant election does already have an article; it's at Quebec general election, 2012. This is a provincewide general election, not a one-riding by-election (although that still doesn't make individual unelected candidates notable.) Bearcat (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep This is a work in progress. There's no reason to delete this yet.Hathatehat (talk) 19:02, 12 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Routine unelected candidate. My own preference might be for keeping all of these, but strong AfD consensus is for deletion. Carrite (talk) 19:33, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It's quite rare that these articles are (or can be) properly sourced enough to warrant keeping them; they're almost always written as (or copied and pasted directly from) campaign brochures rather than real encyclopedia articles. That's one of the key problems. Bearcat (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Unless notability can be established, which I doubt, this should be deleted like other candidate article. Bkissin (talk) 23:41, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - 0 HighBeam hits and I very little info from Google. I believe that the article should be kept, but in the sandbox of the creator until which time notability can be established. There just are not enough independent reliable sources. --MalcomMarcomb11376 (talk) 20:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The article should be redirected, per usual practice for candidates who have not actually held office or been notable for anything besides running. But I can't even tell what to redirect it to; the article doesn't say what office he is running for or when the election is, and I couldn't determine that from the links to websites. Here is the Canadian electoral calendar, 2012; if anyone can figure out what he is running for he should be redirected to that; in the absence of such information, delete. --MelanieN (talk) 19:36, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The caquistes are a provincial-level party so this would be the September 4 general election, but I don't think anyone has made a page for that riding's election… I could be wrong. Thanks for adding the link to the electoral calendar, that made things easier.  Ubelowme U  Me  23:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete I tried to find sources for this, but I can only find unreliable ones about a poker player. Also, he doesn't meet any notability guidelines, and since his election hasn't been called for yet, he doesn't meet WP: POLITICIAN. Electric Catfish 20:35, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete No notability established or likely to be established. ʤɛfiːpiː (talk) 03:54, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:POLITICIAN. I see no need for redirect at this time. Location (talk) 03:56, 20 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - After several searches, not finding coverage in reliable sources for this person at this time. Northamerica1000(talk) 21:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: General non-notablity. --Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 22:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete; unelected candidate in a pending election. If he wins the seat, then he can certainly have an article on the new basis that he'll be a sitting MNA — but until then, per WP:POLITICIAN he is not entitled to keep an unreferenced article just for being a candidate.
