Not notable. To reiterate rationale for the the first (successful) nomination for deletion: "This person is a totally obscure functionary of a very minor fringe party that has ... a handful of councillors. Subject is clearly not a notable political figure - fails Wikipedia policy for notability for politician which determine that only those politicians "who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures." or are "(m)ajor local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are notable."

 * Delete - while I'd disagree with the description of the Respect Party as a "very minor fringe party" - it had a MP at one point - Linda Smith simply hasn't received enough coverage in reliable sources to warrant an article. Being chairman of a minor party is not significant unless one also holds other political office or has a notable public profile (like Salma Yaqoob has). --Anthem of joy (talk) 17:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Person fails the notability criteria at WP:POLITICIAN. Zangar (talk) 15:16, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - there are sources available, but arguably they're not reliable and indepedent ones: ,,. I don't think this person passes the notability guidelines. Out of interest, why wasn't this a WP:G4 candidate? Robofish (talk) 00:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
