Wilfred Caplan

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable candidate in 1977 Ontario provincial election. Only claim to fame is that he is father and husband to other elected officials. This is not enough to meet Wikipedia WP:BIO criteria. Recommend delete. Suttungr (talk) 13:59, 27 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The better answer is to merge his bio into one for the Liberal candidates for that election, but I don't think there is such an article at this time.  PK  T (alk)  14:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I looked for such an article but didn't find one. Suttungr (talk) 15:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Suttungr. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 01:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unelected officials are not inherently notable (not even if members of their families are). Notability would be asserted by wide-spread mentions of the person in independent and major sources in relation to something other than the elections in question, or if such elections were particularly notable in themselves for some event linked to Mr. Caplan.

 * Redirect to Ontario general election, 1977. --kelapstick (talk) 18:09, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Elinor Caplan as it appears all the information in this article on him is already in that article on his wife. If someone is looking for info on this former candidate for office and husband and father of notable politicans, then a pointer to where that info is helpful and if someday more facts can be added, that's good too.

 * Redirect to Elinor Caplan, everything in this one line stub is already mentioned is mentioned in his wife's article so a redirect makes most sense.-- Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 17:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
