Delete Contested prod. Google search shows only 7 ghits outside wikipedia [1]. No significant coverage in secondary or third party reliable source. Fails WP:RS and WP:BIO. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 13:09, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep According to Wikipedia guidelines on notability, the following persons are generally notable: "Politicians who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature." So, given the importance of the UK, I would argue that all members of the UK House of Commons, at least within the 20th and 21st centuries, are inherently notable. Ghits are not always a useful guide. PatGallacher (talk) 13:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Weak keep per PatGallacher. However, it does need some references: at the very least there must be a link to something about him somewhere on the UK Parliament website. Snthdiueoa (talk) 13:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Keep Notable per WP:BIO (service in national elected body). Google Book source. --Michael White^T·C 15:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I am withdrawing my nom per the above arguments. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 16:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
