The result of the discussion was no consensus to delete. I will move it article space and anyone who feels it doesn't merit an article can nominate it for WP:AFD.--Aervanath (talk) 15:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Faile userpage policy. Ian Tyes is a non-elected, non-notable candidate in the European Elections, who edits suggest he wishes to use Wiki as a promotion tool for his election. -- doktorb wordsdeeds 21:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * keep "Suggest" is not a sufficient reason for deletion from userspace. Userspace does not require notability, or encyclopedia-articleness in fact.  Lacking a reason for deletion, it defaults to "keep." Collect (talk) 22:01, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * *keep As long as it stays on his userpage, it's not violating any guidelines. If it pops up elsewhere, then would be the time to whack it.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:26, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. What suggests to me that this userpage might just be a self-promo COI is the username - Bubblyian. Additionally, Wikipedia is not your personal web host - don't use Wikipedia to promote your campaign! Even more so in favour of deletion, is What may I not have on my user page? from the userpage guideline. Accoding to this, you should avoid Extensive self-promotional material and you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia, which this piece of self-promotion is clearly violating.

 * Keep We don't even know if the user is the subject of the article. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Chenzw    Talk   13:21, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Whilst I understand that self-promotion is not allowed, simply filling in background on candidates is surely relevant? It is not 'extensive' being not even a page. Who else would be able to write the background? It is only on my personal space at present, it is not linked to the candidate list, and is a practice run for creating other pages. If I get elected or a significant vote, then can I submit it??? My content is similar to Richard Howitt, for example. By the way, for your information, BubblyIan is my user name for me, Ian Tyes.
 * Comment There is a difference and distinction between putting info on a userpage, and putting a full bio/cv, especially when a) the user is an election candidate, and b) that election is happening within 2 weeks. doktorb wordsdeeds 16:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it is moved into articlespace. Userspace should not be used to hold 'articles' that wouldn't survive in mainspace, particularly if they were created for promotional reasons, as may be the case here. Robofish (talk) 04:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Move to mainspace in order to allow discussion of the page as an article, per Robofish. –B LACK F ALCON  (T ALK ) 05:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
