Contested PROD. Reason for the proposed deletion was, and remains: Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. Has been a candidate in a number of elections but doesn't seem to have "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources".

PROD was removed with the edit summary, "Not needed for deletion because he is standing for by-election Oldham East and Saddleworth which will attract attention to the page and it has lots of required information on the page." That this individual is a candidate in another Parliamentary election doesn't seem to change the problems regarding WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN and I therefore remain of the opinion the article should be deleted.

 * Delete Does not meet our notability standard WP:POLITICIAN and no other claims of notability are made. Cullen328 (talk) 16:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete At the end of the day he is just one of the many protest politicans and not worthy of being included in this encyclopedia.--80.59.64.33 (talk) 18:00, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Never received more than 472 votes, never got as much as one percent of the vote in any election-- just a clever name on the ballot for a no less cleverly named party (Monster Raving Loony Party). I'm sure he had a clever platform and clever campaign slogans, but the point of the article seems to be that he was more never than clever.  Mandsford 18:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - being a candidate in an election is not sufficient evidence of notability. No other claim of notability is made in the article. Warofdreams talk 09:52, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. A non-notable politician, fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 14:38, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge Redirect and merge with the Official Monster Raving Loony Party page. At least untill after he wins Oldham East and Saddleworth 86.29.69.238 (talk) 01:12, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing here to merge not already in other articles. Can we snowball yet? Bondegezou (talk) 15:34, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I do not think there is much worth merging to the Official Monster Raving Loony Party page, which is a long one for a party whose greatest success once was to beat the continuing Social Democrat Party in votes, leading to the latter's dissolution. OMRLP is mainly notable for putting up joke candidates at elections.  If kept, the article should be moved to the person's true name (retaining the resultant redirect).
