Mick Murphy (Irish Socialist Party politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:Politician, is not notable. He isn't even a county councillor anymore and the article is poorly referenced.

 * Keep - I favor the lowest possible bar regarding inclusion of active politicians, political parties, and their youth sections. In addition to notability gained through election, worthy of note as a leader of an emerging political party. Carrite (talk) 20:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Firstly he isnt even a leader as you'd define him. Secondly I'm following the constituencies in this election he isn't even a contender in the constituency he's running in. Thirdly the ULA isn't a political party - it's a grouping or electoral alliance - they failed to get their name on the ballot paper. Finally just being a local councillor doesn't make one notable compared to Luke 'Ming' Flanagan, Richard Boyd Barrett, Maurice Quinlivan or Rotimi Adebari.

 * Delete - not notable as a politician. I wondered if he might be notable as a political activist, but a Google News search doesn't return many hits, and half of them relate directly to his unsuccessful recent candidacy. Warofdreams talk 12:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Didn't win and didn't seem to have much influence on anything during his campaign. Superman7515 (talk) 00:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
