[edit] Lloyd Helferty

Delete This article is of the Green Party candidate in the 2006 election in Thornhill. The election is over, Mr. Helferty lost with only 4% of the vote. According to wiki's biography guidelines for local politicans: "Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage," Helferty is not eligible for an article. pm_shef 18:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep Again yet another polically motivated request for deletion from PM_shef --69.156.151.238 18:56, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Missing even such thing as birthdate. A person reduced to an unsuccessful candidacy isn't article. Pavel Vozenilek 19:15, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unsuccessful Canadian parliamentary candidate. The article provides no evidence to meet WP:BIO guidance on politicians' notability. Sliggy 20:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO and Sliggy. Article has no indication that he has been "a major local political figure" nor that he "receive[d] significant press coverage". Google shows this WP entry first, then results of the 2004 election (3.43 percent of the vote), then some local and contribute-your-own websites with environmental activism. Wikipedia is not a place to promote candidacies, people, or ideas, see WP:NOT. Barno 02:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• For clarification, past AFD's on unelected candidates have pretty consistently sawed off at the compromise position that they can be kept in a merged party candidates in X election list, but not generally as separate biographical articles unless they meet WP:BIO on other grounds beyond having been a political candidate. It may not be the ideal situation for some purposes, but as things currently stand it's what the established consensus happens to be. Accordingly, merge into Green Party candidates, 2006 Canadian election. Bearcat 03:38, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - non-notable. I've added him to Green Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election. —GrantNeufeld 05:29, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per GrantNeufeld's helpful merge. Samaritan 02:53, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Green Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election#Lloyd Helferty (Thornhill) until he or someone else by that name can meet the criteria for having his own article. --maclean25 21:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per Mac Obli (Talk)^? 11:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
