[edit] Jacob Sanders

Not sufficiently notable PatGallacher 19:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I am taking the slightly drastic step of proposing an article for deletion which previously went through the AFD process and was not deleted, this is the first time in my time as a Wikipedian I have done this. In case you were wondering, I was not the person who proposed deletion the first time. That time, there was no consensus, but several people supported deletion. The reason is that it has just been decided to delete the biography of another person of similar notablity, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthea Irwin. I pointed out in the course of this AFD discussion that it had been decided not to delete Jacob Sanders, one person replied that he ought to be deleted as well. They were both candidates for minor parties at the 2005 UK general election, I fail to see the fundamental distinction between them. PatGallacher 19:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The only difference I see between Sanders and Irwin is Sanders distant relationship to Bernie Sanders which might make him marginally more notable. I general, I believe unsuccessful minor party candidates should not be included, unless they do exceptionally well and/or attract unusual amounts of media attention. I'm not familiar enough with British politics to vote on this one. TMS63112 20:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - does not appear sufficiently important.--File Éireann 21:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Minor party candidate who achieved 4.3% of the vote in his constituency. No other claim to notability. Capitalistroadster 00:32, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
