[edit] Darius Pearce

Deprodded by creator without comment, who has been creating articles on politicians of this political party Centre Party (Jersey) a minor political party which has competed in regional elections with no success. The subject of the article is one such example.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• This is in response to recent changes in the news in Jersey.

This political party has two members elected to the states though as independents. Which is the norm for Jersey's political parties at this point in time.

This specific candidate has been successful in Jersey regional (parochial) elections (the equivalent of UK council elections though on a comparatively small scale due to the difference in size) but unsuccessful national elections.

I therefore submit that your criteria for deletion is not valid in this case. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardColgate (talk • contribs) .

• • Comment - There is plenty of precedence of local politicians being deleted. Only state and federal members tend to stay.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 02:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok I guess there is a case that it should go, except that in Jersey's case being a very small state of only 80,000 people our parishes are Australia's States. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RichardColgate (talk • contribs) .

• Delete, fails WP:BIO: Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage. This representant does not have it. The most important coverage was an article he wrote for BBC blog section. -- ReyBrujo 03:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Kukini 16:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• I was inclined to keep per User:RichardColgate's concerns, but compared to prominent Jersey politicians (I used the Minister for Home Affairs, Senator Wendy Kinnard as my yardstick, she gets four times as many hits, which are of a far higher "notability" score in my mind — she didn't write them herself). This guy really isn't very prominent, so a weak delete. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Perhaps I should start a useless political party and get myself on wiki that way. --Bachrach44 19:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with some reluctance; may be notable in Jersey, but not more widely. Runcorn 10:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
