[edit] Sandra Anthony
Delete. Unnotable political candidate in a municipal election. Never been elected to public office. Nothing really distinguishing about this person. Does not meet criteria for WP:BIO. CindyLooWho 04:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per above will381796 05:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, nonnotable candidate for low-level offices. NawlinWiki 14:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge, into New Democratic Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election --YUL89YYZ 16:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- I see no reason to merge this into New Democratic Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election. There's no valuable information here to merge. To quote Wiki's rules For Westminster System elections and other elections in which parties are more important - "Try to stay away from too much detail on the candidate's life outside of politics unless it is relevant to the election or otherwise noteworthy". See Wikipedia:Candidates and elections.CindyLooWho 00:06, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merged party candidate lists, at this point, are the established WP consensus for articles on figures who have unsuccessfully stood for political office but are not otherwise notable. There's no legitimate reason to single this one out as somehow less deserving of that approach than any other. Bearcat 00:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I personally see New Democratic Party candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election (and other similar pages) as a place for losing candidates who still possess 2-3 paragraphs of notable personal and/or election-related info. However, if you are right about current consensus, maybe this should be merged. If so, it seems like a strange policy to me. That means that, as long as there is someone willing to input the text, 1000+ losing candidates from every Canadian federal election can have 2-3 paragraphs of Wiki space devoted to them with zero notability required. When you think of all the other federal and provincial/state level elections run in all the other countries, we are now talking about millions of unnoteworthy, non-election-related bios.CindyLooWho 03:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

- Again, Wikipedia consensus has been pretty clear that while unelected candidates for political office can be notable enough in certain contexts, municipal politics is not one of those contexts. If she wins, she can come back, but right now, merge per YUL89YYZ. Bearcat 00:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable. Skeezix1000 20:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
