[edit] Kirsty Lloyd

Kirsty Lloyd (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No assertion of notability other than an unsuccessful run for New South Wales state parliament. The article is unsourced and mostly trivial in nature. Mattinbgn/ ^talk 08:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Mattinbgn/ ^talk 08:10, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, as follows:

a) Article does not indicate notability - it is not notable to be the first woman to stand for Toongabbie given Toongabbie was created as an electorate for the first time this year. Everyone who stood for Toongabbie did so for the first time (first man, first person with brown hair, first person named Kirsty and so on).

b) No record of political activism - article does not claim leadership on any issue or community campaign, and an internet search reveals only political blogs and incidental references

c) No realistic prospect of success - no disrespect to Ms Lloyd, but she attracted only 27% of the vote and was never in the running for what is a safe Labor seat.

d) Not the first woman to seek representation for this area - Toongabbie is the old electorate of Wentworthville renamed. Wentworthville was represented by Ms Pam Allan, further invalidating Ms Lloyd's notability claims (first woman candidate)

e) no sources, no photos, nothing that would be lost if this article was removed and recreated should Ms lloyd achieve notability at a future election. Euryalus 08:59, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Failed political candidates are generally not notable. Nothing here to indicate otherwise. --RaiderAspect 10:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. She was a candidate for the Liberal Party of Australia which is the second largest party in the NSW parliament and achieved 27% of the primary vote. [1] However, there are no Google News Archive sources for "Kirsty Lloyd" Toongabbie [2] so she received little or no independent coverage of the campaign. If there was an article on the seat of Toongabbie, she might be worth a brief mention. Capitalistroadster 03:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
