[edit] Ariel Lade

NN. Being a candidate in an election doesn't make you notable. Josh Parris#: 00:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I disagree. This is the federal election. Victoria, Canada is a big seat. Has got enough media coverage [1]. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 01:05, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - I disagree. If he wins the election, he's in. I believe guidelines are that winners are in but candidates are out, unless they're notable in defeat. Since the election hasn't happened, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, delete. That, and it reads to much like a promo anyway. Chris talk back 01:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into an article on Green Party candidates in the 39th federal election. Note that the rules regarding legislative candidates are under consideration at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Legislative candidates -- Mwalcoff 00:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Copyvio of official biography see [2]. Doesn't seem notable enough to warrant biography unless elected. Capitalistroadster 03:21, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep but rewrite. The article is a blatant copyvio as per Capitalistroadster's link, but as a candidate for a notable party in an important regional election, he just about meets notability criteria for me. If someone has half decent info on him, a rewrite would be very welcome.
• Keep, as with all other major party candidates. - SimonP 14:56, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I'm undecided as to whether he merits an article. In any case, I've de-copy-vio'd and de-pov'd the article, as well as adding him to Green Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election. --GrantNeufeld 20:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
