Margaret Wright (British politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable academic and politician. Being the Principle speaker of the green party of England and Wales, a parliamentary candidate and a University academic are not individually notable and collectively do not create or establish notability. Sport and politics (talk) 10:50, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. As joint Principal Speaker, she was effectively the joint party leader. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:46, 24 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - This has potential to be selectively merged to Green Party of England and Wales and Cambridge City Council, respectively. NorthAmerica1000 11:53, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You need to look at Principal Speaker. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:50, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment -The holding of this post of Principal Speaker does not make the subject notable. They have to have wider notability established by reliable third party sources. Simply holding one post in a small political party is not enough to make an individual notable (yes the Green Party are a small party, one MP two MEPs and a few councillors here and there, does not make them a medium or big party like UKIP, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives or Labour, etc.). In the same way holding municipal elected office in England does not make an individual notable. The post itself can be notable by its history, or high profile office holders, etc. in the same way the office of leader of a Municipal Council is potentially notable as an office. That though does not qualify the holders of that office for notability or inclusion in Wikiepida. There is also no reasoning as to how that post makes the individual holders notable, there is simply use of: it is just because it is, to justify inclusion on Wikipedia which is absurd.

 * Keep As one of two Principal Speakers of the Green Party (by then represetned in European Parliament), she was certainly notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:37, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The positions held do not equal to notablitity.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:22, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - leader of a significant national party. Sources provide some evidence of notability, although there should be some stronger ones available from broadcast media. Warofdreams talk 00:49, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
