[edit] Gary Malcolm
Not notable. The basic claims to notability are that he's a councillor in Ealing who has unsuccessfully contested a Parliamentary seat. This clearly fails WP:BIO, which specifically states "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." Nothing outside of his political career even has a whiff of notability. The page only has one substantive editor and is orphaned (if you exclude category pages). It may well be a candidate for {{db-bio}} but I suspect that would be contested. BlinkingBlimey (talk) 13:06, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- Delete per nom and ample precedent that being a local councillor and/or a parliamentary candidate does not confer notability. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This person doesn't seem notable in or outside politics. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 16:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
