Doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN, only a candidate. Prod was contested. 117Avenue (talk) 02:36, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POLITICIAN and WP:SPAM. This article is promoting this candidate's campaign in a provincial election and he is not notable by any other means. In the unlikely event the candidate wins, he will become notable by being a member of the provincial legislature and the article can be recreated then per WP:POLITICIAN.

 * Delete, exactly as stated by Hwy43.  PK T (alk)  13:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The election is less than 3 weeks away. Can we keep the article and delete if he loses, or userify it somewhere to reinstate if he wins?  Or does he not have much chance?  Otherwise, if you're sticking to policy, delete and possibly reinstate. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:59, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The NDP aren't doing well in the polls, I don't expect any wins in the suburbs. 117Avenue (talk) 03:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * The NDP are polling strong numbers in Edmonton, so the possibility of victory is not impossible. It'd be premature to delete this page, and all the sources cited all valid. See this story in the Edmonton Journal for more: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Poll+suggests+strong+numbers+Edmonton/6419196/story.html -- BDELamb82 (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC) — BDELamb82 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Not premature and polls are irrelevant. Read WP:POLITICIAN. Alan Forsyth was deleted. There is no reason to believe this won't have the same outcome. Hwy43 (talk) 04:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no "exemption" clause at WP:POLITICIAN due to the imminence of an election. If that were the case, WP would be inundated with articles once the exemption period begins, causing a lot of needless work to delete these articles upon the unsuccessful candidates learning their fate.
