Steve Eddowes
The result was Delete. I see no consensus for or against a redirect to the EDL, so there should not be considered any prejudice against creating one in the future. (non-admin closure) – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:06, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Sources do not demonstrate notability. Reliable secondary sources only provide trivial coverage in the context of the English Defence League or Tommy Robinson. Lmatt (talk) 21:19, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Undecided Chairman of EDL is not a trivial position, though his profile has not been as high as Tommy Robinson's, not surprisingly. It could be that a redirect to EFL and a separate section on Eddowes there would be OK. However, it could also be that if the nominator hadn't deleted half the article on spurious grounds there would be more to go on. (I've reinstated it pending further discussionn.)

 * Delete Doesn't meet the WP:GNG, and I can't find substantial coverage about him to justify an article. Just because a notable person previously occupied his role doesn't mean that the role conveys notability in the absence of substantial coverage. Ralbegen (talk) 14:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:POLOUTCOMES, and WP:NOTINHERITED. There's scant coverage about him as a political activist. In any case, political activists are not inherently notable because of their organizations, unless they win seats in a national or sub-national parliament. We routinely delete articles for Green party officials, professional protesters, etc. Bearian (talk) 15:24, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete since subject fails WP:GNG and, per WP:POLOUTCOMES, also WP:POLITICIAN. -The Gnome (talk) 06:40, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
