Non notable politician. Being a mere candidate for election is not sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia and no evidence of notability outside his candidature is asserted. Mattinbgn\talk 22:46, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions.  -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment With the election four weeks away I would have held off. Saves us the trouble of deleting an article only to have it recreated right away. --Dhartung | Talk 22:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I disagree strongly. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and articles of this type should not be kept on the chance that the subject will become notable in the future. If this means recreating an article at a future date when notability is established then so be it. -- Mattinbgn\talk 23:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Article cites no reliable sources. — Ksero 01:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Has attracted some coverage on Google News sources. . However, there are no sources establishing notability outside his candidacy and while he has some prospects, he will probably not achieve the 9.5% swing to win the seat. Certainly worth a mention in an article on the election in Gilmore if there is one and obviously a standalone article if elected. Capitalistroadster 02:27, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability outside this race, which he hasn't won, and likely won't. If he does win, a far better article could be created than this stub anyway. Nick Graves 18:12, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete there is nothing to indicate notability has been achieved yet. If that changes an article can be created. Nuttah68 17:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
