[edit] Charles Christopher Dundas

No vote yet. [see below] This is a re-listing, because Speedy delete request was turned down, as original vote was last year. Please see old Delete decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Christopher Dundas. Recent precedent has been to delete as Non-notable articles about failed election candidates, eg: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linda Gorn. Despite being an inclusionist, I will probably vote Delete, just because of precedent, but I would like to see what others say. (Please also note that this article is largely autobiographical, and thus breaks those rules too.)--Mais oui! 13:24, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable. Previous AfD was generally in favour of a delete. There were a few harmless-type votes and indeed it is pretty harmless but that's not sufficient reason to keep an article. And, surprisingly, User:Kappa voted to keep it. Dlyons493 Talk 14:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This ought to be a speediable candidate since there is clear consensus that being a failed candidate is not itself grounds for notability. Since many candidates are selected to run based on wider achievement, many are rightfully included. This does not appear to the case here. Eusebeus 21:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as there's nothing much beyond routine reporting on the Scotsman. Compare and contrast with Eric Milligan. Yes, that's a red link, but Eric is and was exceedingly well known and well reported beyond trivial mentions in the Scotsman (and even at the other end of the M8 in the Weegie Herald). Smacks of Libdem advertorial material I'm sorry to say. Doesn't meet WP:BIO. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per arguments above. --Mais oui! 22:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
