Steve uncles

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable unsuccessful political candidate for minor political party. Gets a few mentions in passing in articles covering the election e.g. here but nothing substantial that comes close to meeting WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN. Finishing second-last, with 5% last time makes me doubt that any serious offline sources exist. Valenciano (talk) 15:06, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete we dont normally have articles on candidates only those elected, already mentioned as much as needed at England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections, 2012 and presumably will get a mention at England and Wales police and crime commissioner elections, 2016 when its created. No prejudice against re-creation if he wins a seat or position of note. MilborneOne (talk) 17:20, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Bishonen. Tom Reedy (talk) 20:44, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Google and Google News searches for ("steve uncles") didn't turn up any in-depth coverage: only passing mentions and brief pieces. As highly unsuccessful (5% of vote) candidate for county-wide office, fails WP:POLITICIAN. Note that a Steve Uncles article, with proper capitalisation of the surname, was deleted in 2010. — Ammodramus (talk) 15:33, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unelected candidates for office don't qualify for Wikipedia articles if their candidacy is the strongest notability claim you can make — he'll likely qualify for an article if he wins the election, but he doesn't get one just for being a candidate in it.
