Liam Stubbs does not appear to be notable - fails BIO. Most significant thing appears to be praise he got from Charlotte Atkins, but that's not enough. Cannot find anything suggesting notability on Google searches. --A bit iffy (talk) 21:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Note: the article was proposed for deletion in November 2011 but the "Prod" notices were removed by User:Bankifirst, the creator of the article. "Notability" tags have also been removed by that user.--A bit iffy (talk) 21:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete; subject fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:POLITICIAN. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Discounting all the self-published stuff we've got a quote in a local paper and a mention from an MP in the Commons from the same party. Doesn't remotely qualify as significant coverage. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 06:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject is involved in a current election campaign and is therefore an emerging person. He is looking to represent Monmouth, a Wikipedia Town and therefore playing a part in its shaping.  The biography will grow over the coming weeks.  If he is not elected on may 3rd, then the page should be removed. Bankifirst 13:46, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * After the subject achieves significance, then the article should be written, not the other way round.--A bit iffy (talk) 16:02, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * And just to avoid confusion, even being elected as a councillor doesn't confer notability. MPs and AMs yes, but not simply for being a councillor. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:06, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks, I think that clarification needs to be made in this case.--A bit iffy (talk) 20:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete -- Clearrly NN. He is a mere local spokesman.  Political candidates are by consensus NN until they are elected, and particulrly if they fail to get elected.  Even elected local councillors are generally regarded as NN.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:05, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
