[edit] Steffan Browning

Steffan Browning (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

This person isn't notable. Fails WIKI:BIO Stood for parliament on a minor party ticket, with very little likelihood of gaining election. This person is of minor interest in Green Party circles, but not generally. Self-promotion.

• Delete Fails all notability assertions. scope_creep 01:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. It isn't self promotion, the article was written along with articles about very many of the candidates in the New Zealand general election, 2005. Since he wasn't elected, and doesn't appear to have come to the public eye since, I agree with the deletion.-gadfium 03:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Being a candidate confers no inherent notability. Get elected first, or do something more notable than running a shop. Caknuck 05:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. GringoInChile 05:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 10:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:BIO criteria. --Terence Ong _{(C | R)} 12:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete If mere candidacy was sufficient, Wikipedia would be filled with tens of thousands of names of obscure and failed politicians, running for parliament, regional legislatures, and district commissions from Alberta to Zanzibar. This entry is comparable to the hundreds of backup dancers, actors without speaking parts, and other non-celebrities who have created self-referential and derivative entries about themselves, hoping that asserting their own fame will lead to its achievement.
