Deprodded by creator without comment, who has been creating articles on politicians of this political party Centre Party (Jersey) a minor political party which has competed in regional elections with no success. The subject of the article is one such example.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- This is in response to recent changes in the news in Jersey.
- This political party has two members elected to the states though as independents. Which is the norm for Jersey's political parties at this point in time.
- This specific candidate has been successful in Jersey regional (parochial) elections (the equivalent of UK council elections though on a comparatively small scale due to the difference in size) but unsuccessful national elections.
- I therefore submit that your criteria for deletion is not valid in this case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardColgate (talk • contribs) .
- Comment - There is plenty of precedence of local politicians being deleted. Only state and federal members tend to stay.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I guess there is a case that it should go, except that in Jersey's case being a very small state of only 80,000 people our parishes are Australia's States. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardColgate (talk • contribs) .
- Delete, fails WP:BIO: Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage. This representant does not have it. The most important coverage was an article he wrote for BBC blog section. -- ReyBrujo 03:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per above. Kukini 16:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I was inclined to keep per User:RichardColgate's concerns, but compared to prominent Jersey politicians (I used the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Wendy Kinnard as my yardstick, she gets four times as many hits, which are of a far higher "notability" score in my mind — she didn't write them herself). This guy really isn't very prominent, so a weak delete. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Perhaps I should start a useless political party and get myself on wiki that way. --Bachrach44 19:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete with some reluctance; may be notable in Jersey, but not more widely. Runcorn 10:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
