This is a list of transcluded discussions on the deletion of articles related to UK. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain this list by:

adding new items, by adding "{{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}" to the top of the list below (replace PageName with the name of the page to be deleted).
removing closed AFDs.
removing unrelated discussions.

If you wish, you may also:

tag discussions by adding "{{subst:delsort|UK}} <small>-- ~~~~</small>" on a new line. You can automate this task by adding {{subst:deltab|UK}} to your monobook.js file. See Template:Deltab for instructions.

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (people). A failed candidate at UK GE 2005, and a candidate in an SP seat 2007 (see Scottish Parliament election, 2007). I suspect that this is going to be the first of several of these attempts to place a biography on Wikipedia. We have plenty of precedent here at AFD for deleting biogs of election candidates and failed candidates. Mais oui! 11:57, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Weak Delete - information is sourced only from the Scottish Conservatives website, so no evidence of multiple non-trivial coverage in third-party sources to establish notability per WP:BIO. According to precedent, failed election candidates aren't inherently notable unless they meet WP:BIO independently. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 12:11, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete per nom, although perhaps it would be kindest to wait until May 4th - after all he might get elected! Ben MacDui (Talk) 18:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
