Luke Martin
Non-notable lower house candidate.

As best I can make out, Luke Martin started a vanity page on 6 May, 2006 with a lowercase "m". Then on 28 July asked Essjay to change his username from Lukewmartin to Kataposmanson. Essjay obliged and on the next day recreated the current Luke Martin page.

Catchpole believes that the fact that Martin is a current candidate makes him sufficiently notable. I disagree. If he were party spokesperson on some issue at the state level then maybe that would increase his notability but I don't think we can go giving pages to every candidate of every election.

 * Weakish delete per nom. --David Mestel(Talk) 20:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Page wasnt created by Kataposmanson, or by Luke Martin, but was created by another amdin. Not sure what this is all about. Anyone contact Essjay about this? Other than that, its appears to have citations. But I'm looking more into it now. SynergeticMaggot 20:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC) Delete. WP:NN and per WP:BIO. SynergeticMaggot 20:54, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete The seat is held by the Australian Labor Party by 10%, ie a "safe seat". The chances that this Liberal pollie is anything more than making up the numbers is remote. Not notable.Blnguyen | rant-line 00:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Don't delete as there is a need to know who is the Liberal Candidate for Cranbourne which is Luke Martin - someone needs to write up an objective article about Martin —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.29.131.4 (talk • contribs).
