Wendy yuan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article fails to address the WP:POLITICIAN guidelines. Searching GNews I find some mentions in the local press of being a political candidate, as would be expected for any election process, by itself this is not sufficient to demonstrate the significant impact required. Being a CEO is no guarantee of encyclopaedic notability either based on the WP:BIO guidance. Fæ (talk) 08:05, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Discussion Wendy Yuan is a noted local politician who has been featured in numerous news reports and interviews in both local and national media. On top of that, she is also a significant community figure in Vancouver, and has received awards and sat on boards of important associations.

 * Please take some time to check the WP:POLITICIAN criteria, this is has been evolved after much discussion and represents a firm consensus. If Yuan's community work or corporate work is particularly notable and supported by reliable sources (such as national papers or respected books) then you may have a case against the general guidelines but she would have to be notable in her own right (as opposed to the notability of her company) and the impact must be demonstrably significant. AfDs run for at least 7 days, so you might find it useful to discuss detailed options for improvement on the article talk page (rather than here) in the meantime.

 * Administrative note (with my admin hat on) the AFD was improperly transcluded on the talk page. I've fixed it as of today, but it may be wise to let this AFD run long. tedder (talk) 16:27, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That puzzled me until I saw this change where an anon IP capitalized the name in the template, probably without realizing this would stop the notice working properly. Thanks for fixing it back. Fæ (talk) 16:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'm sure it was good-faith. I find the "broken" ones on a bot, but it doesn't run very frequently. tedder (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

*Keep. As an elected politician and MP she meets WP:POLITICIAN. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * She's only a MP candidate, no? Or am I misunderstanding "candidate" and "riding" because of my south-of-Canadia education? tedder (talk) 05:23, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops - overlooked the word "candidate. Delete per WP:POLITICIAN. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:26, 24 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Just a candidate, and not a notable person otherwise. Rawr (talk) 13:59, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:POLITICIAN, without prejudice to re-creation if and when she wins a seat in the House.  PK  T (alk)  14:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
