Insufficient notablity. Most references given are either dead or primary. Only a candidate, so not notable enough for own page, per WP:POLITICIAN.

 * Comment I have tagged this article for rescue. Silver  seren C 00:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added sources that establish notability for him as an author and then as a politician. Silver  seren C 00:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I'll have a proper look through them in the morning, bit late now. Author stuff looks promising, though a lot of the politician links are just from Lib Dem pages, so I don't think they fall under WP:Reliable Sources. Paulbrock (talk) 00:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the politician stuff is a bit thin, but that's understandable for just a mere candidate. Silver  seren C 00:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * On the author side, I'm afraid I don't see enough on the links provided to withdraw my nom. I'm disregarding articles he has written as not being relevant to establishing notability, please point me in the right direction if this is wrong.(See also below) Paulbrock (talk) 17:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Poplar and Limehouse (UK Parliament constituency) as is the general rule for run of the mill candidates. See WP:POLITICIAN. --Mkativerata (talk) 02:20, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * And what about him as an author? Silver  seren C 08:08, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well does he meet the community's standard of WP:AUTH? --Mkativerata (talk) 08:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I would go with #1 and #3. He is cited a lot because of his work on Oscar Wilde, and I believe his works will fit under #3 as well. Silver  seren C 08:19, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Are there any sources for him being cited a lot? Is his body of work significant? Paulbrock (talk) 17:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:AUTH. Various reviews for his books on Wilde, in, for example, the NYT, Telegraph , etc. Ray  Talk 22:25, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep notable as an author, though he currently fails WP:POLITICIAN, which would have implied redirecting to the constituency. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:59, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep notable as a broadcaster on BBC's ‘Thought for the Day’, and ‘From Our Own Correspondent’. (also on Exec of The Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding). I think the problem is the lead mentioning his current candicacy (Msrasnw (talk) 10:20, 14 April 2010 (UTC))
 * Keep I think all the links to major news sources in the external links section of the article prove this person is quite notable.   D r e a m Focus  04:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
