  • Delete unsuccessful contestant for minor office. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 14:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Losing candidates in state or local elections maybe, college elections NO. - Randwicked 14:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Candidates that lose have to satisfy the WP:BIO criteria in some other fashion. Those that lose spectacularly usually do, for the simple reason that they garner lots of press coverage. Those that merely lose do not, however. Uncle G 15:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Retain Candidate in an election important to a prominent British University. Also interesting about Germaine Greer. Needs cleaned up, but still worth the effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.112.43.89 (talk • contribs) 2005-11-14 15:01:08 (UTC)
  • Delete Doesn't say how many votes he got, so I expect it wasn't many. Carina22 15:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The article cites no sources, and research turns up no published works dealing with this person, that are sourced independently from the subject, aside from one sentence mentions in articles about Germaine Greer's candidacy. The only source of information about the subject is the subject himself, in an interview. The source of the purported Germaine Greer quotation is also the subject himself, and its accuracy has already been disputed by other people. The WP:BIO criteria are not satisified. It appears that this person has not had any independently sourced press coverage, let alone as much as Mike McCue (AfD discussion) has. Delete. Uncle G 15:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, no assertion of notability sufficient for WP:BIO. — Haeleth Talk 18:29, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Retain, even a google search turns up dozens of mentions other than this election incl the result, its incomplete not unnecessary. 21:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
