But we can fairly ask who this deletion is requested by. It seems to be by a political opponent called Martin Tiedemann, a former Labour Party councillor from the London Borough of Croydon.

My suggestion would be to keep the article but to delete the more barbed comments in it, which no doubt were entered by another political opponent. Bridget Fox is still a leading London Liberal Democrat. —The preceding comment was added by Xn4 (talk • contribs) 31 July 2006.

Firstly, I did not propose this AfD - Timrollpickering did. I just support it.
Secondly, evidence of POV outside Wikipedia is not evidence of POV inside; you'll have noticed from my profile and contributions pages about my extensive work creating, improving and categorising politicians from all parties in three countries. And no, I don't think it is legitimate to 'fairly ask' or make a judgement based on who proposes AFD, unless there is a history of abuse of process, etc, inside WP.
Thirdly, I have frequently proposed and supported deletion about Labour councillor articles too (e.g Melanie Smallman, because I believe that being a councillor alone is not grounds for notability, nor being a run of the mill losing parliamentary candidate. If she had been Leader of the Council, or ALG Lib Dem group leader, I may have supported her retention. Having been a councillor myself for eight years only confirms non-notability for me.

I proposed this deletion along with several others as part of a process of clearing up articles on candidates. Numerous articles on people who've been election candidates/local councillors from all parties have been nominated for deletion for insufficient notability - you'll note that on the same day I nominated this article I also nominated past candidates/councillors from the Conservatives, Labour and Alliance, and I've also nominated Greens for deletion in the past. Many others have also nominated AFDs on candidate articles - indeed Wikipedia:Candidates and elections emerged precisely because of the deluge of candidate articles.
