I am not convinced that this person is notable enough. I have added a reference but still I think he is unencyclopedic Anshuk (talk) 08:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * As of right now, a political party nomination in Nova Scotia is merely preparation for an election that hasn't happened yet (and while it's likely to happen sooner rather than later, it's not actually required to happen until 2011!). And WP:POLITICIAN clarifies that a simple candidacy isn't sufficient as a claim of notability — to merit a standalone article on here, a person needs to either win election to a legislature, or already be notable enough for inclusion under other guidelines that they'd merit an article even if they weren't running for office at all. If and when the election actually happens, he'll be entitled to an article if he wins, or to inclusion in a merged candidates list otherwise. Delete without prejudice against recreation if circumstances change in the future. Bearcat (talk) 22:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete An actual candidate of a major party for a national office is possibly notable, but this is a provincial office, and ,accepting Bearcat's analysis, he is far from actual candidacy. Nothing else even possibly notable at this point. DGG (talk) 03:21, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - no notability except being a candidate, and per WP:POLITICIAN that's not enough. JohnCD (talk) 09:43, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, we routinely delete articles on confirmed candidates as being non-notable, so it would seem logical that this prospective candidate doesn't quite meet the bar yet either. Recreate if and when he is elected.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:43, 14 April 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete - I do not think candidates at this level are notable, but I have no prejudice against recreating it if the guy does get elected or receives notable amount of attention during his campaign. Grandmartin11 (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
