Peter Sain ley Berry

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable political candidate who has not held national elected office. He is additionally the editor of some minor specialist journals which do not appear to amount to a claim of notability. Sam Blacketer (talk) 14:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no evidence of notability. Nyttend (talk) 15:30, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - as a minor founder of a major political party and contributor to a major national newspaper I would say he's threshold WP:N. Article needs work, perhaps. Eddie.willers (talk) 17:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The SDP has several thousand founder Members. Its formation was announced some weeks before the party was formally launched, and people could sign up to the Council for Social Democracy or endorse the Limehouse Declaration before the launch. Peter Sain Ley Berry was not one of the 'Gang of Four' founders of the SDP and isn't mentioned in the academic history of the party (Ivor Crewe and Anthony King, "SDP: The Birth, Life and Death of the Social Democratic Party", Oxford University Press, 1995).

 * Delete lack of sources and nothing in the article hints at the type of notability which would pass WP:GNG. His role in founding the SDP as acknowledged appears to have been minor. Valenciano (talk) 06:32, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
