[edit] Anthony Reale

Per WP:BIO we have articles for holders of significant offices. That does not include real-0estate agents who failed to be elected to office, and the offices listed in WP:BIO are all well above the highest level achieved by this person, namely city counillor. He failed in his bid for the (still IMO insignificant) office of mayor. So until WP:BIO is amended to include serial losers runners-up, I say non-notable.

• Merge with Conservative Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election and redirect; the subject is surely insufficiently notable to merit an article. Joe 19:49, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. I hope the real estate biz works out for him. RGTraynor 19:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, although I wouldn't object to a merge if others feel there is sufficient verifiable encyclopaedic information to merge. Thryduulf 23:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment This guy came in 2nd, with 34% of the vote. The NDP candidate, Simon Strelchik, who got 8%, survived an AfD last week. IMO we should delete all losing candidates unless they have genuine notability, but somehow it seems wrong to delete this guy and not Strelchik. Fan1967 02:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Simon Strelchik's afd was closed as no consensus, the debate was filled with sockpuppets and allegations of sockpuppets so I wouldn't cite it as precedent for anything! Thryduulf 09:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Following some nonsense this morning, the Strelchik article has been deleted. Just zis Guy you know? 11:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Then Delete this one, too. Fan1967 16:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Joe, or Delete. Ardenn 04:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• As per Joe, Merge into Conservative Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election as per numerous precedents set. Luigizanasi 14:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per Joe. Ground Zero | t 19:22, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Compress to a redirect and Merge. CJCurrie 22:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merge. While it is interesting that he assaulted Mario Racco, that does not warrant an article. It should be merged with 2006-election Conservative candidates (or whatever the specific title is), perhaps with the briefest of bios. Theonlyedge 20:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Theonlyedge is a sockpuppet of Pm_shef —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CopperTopOnTheEdge (talk • contribs) .
  • Cut it the f*ck out, right now. There is no evidence that this is the case, and you will kindly stop stalking him to assert it every time he opens his mouth. Bearcat 03:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Why do we keep getting articles on random Canadian election candidates? Merge to a list of candidates. Stifle (talk) 00:25, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment Because people keep creating them during the campaign (even for candidates who don't have a prayer) and then they're left behind when the campaign's over. Fan1967 21:13, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merge as above Pete.Hurd 01:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect and merge. Precedent has already been established here. Bearcat 03:24, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
