Sorry. I nominated this article for deletion but have totally forgotten my password. This is a page about a candidate for elected office who has no other notability. There is clear precedent that candidates for office are not sufficiently notable unless there is some other claim to notability. I don't think any other claim is sufficiently asserted here - it really just seems to be a vanity page. 86.144.83.215 (talk) 00:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC) Text copied from article talk page. ➨ REDVEЯS is always ready to dynamically make tea 11:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. A Google search reveals easily enough sources to satisfy WP:RS. Apart from the several articles he's written for the Telegraph, there's significant coverage in the Guardian ([1]) and Daily Mail ([2]) and this from Operation Black Vote ([3]). Not all prospective candidates are notable - indeed, most usually aren't - but this man has clearly received enough attention to satisfy our guidelines. Terraxos (talk) 14:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. per Terraxos. Also note the phrase from the Guardian article - that he's an up-and-coming "national figure of repute" implies that he's known for more than just running for this office. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 01:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources found by Terraxos which establish his notability Davewild (talk) 21:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
