This article reads like a CV. There isn't anything particularly notable about this political candidate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.116.24 (talk) 17:32, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Political backroom advisors are not automatically presumed notable just for existing, and neither are non-winning candidates for political office. And most of the sources here are not substantively about Giugliano, but merely namecheck his existence within coverage that is about other things or people — the only two sources that are about him to the depth needed to count for anything toward WP:GNG are both in the context of his candidacy. But such coverage falls under WP:ROUTINE, because every candidate for any office in any election always generates some of that type of coverage, so its existence cannot be the base of a claim that he's notable because "media coverage exists ergo GNG" — to be considered notable because candidate per se, the candidate must either (a) be shown and sourced as already notable for other reasons besides the candidacy (which, again, the sourcing here is not showing since he's not the subject of any coverage outside the candidacy itself), or (b) be shown and sourced as having had his campaign coverage explode far out of proportion to what could be routinely expected to exist, along the lines of what happened to Christine O'Donnell in 2010 (which two pieces of campaign coverage is not doing).

 * Delete I suspect this article may have been created in the expectation that he was going to become MP for Edinburgh West, but he didn't. PatGallacher (talk) 23:49, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsuccessful candidates for political office have no inherent notability, and there's nothing but routine coverage that doesn't meet the GNG. Exemplo347 (talk) 17:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep I created the article but wasn't notified of this discussion, so haven't had a chance to work on the article. He has been unsuccessful at three elections for European, Scottish and British parliaments so doesn't fulfil WP:NPOL. Over a period of several years there has been coverage of his European roles, activity at conferences, television appearances, etc which means I think he does meet WP:BASIC. There are some significant pieces of newspaper coverage too:, and . Drchriswilliams (talk) 06:37, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
