[edit] Discussion

This page has eventual value. It has just be created and it's already being nominated for deletion? I view that a page on a probable future politican should be kept. Deleting it now would delete prominate wikipedia knowledge. Voters or other Thompson citizens that want a balanced view on a major canidate would be let down! If she is elected as the MP for this area that would mean this article would have to be recreated. If you feel it is unimportant enought to be an article, at least merge it with something!

Sorry, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --PhilipO 21:24, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
should it be merged with a wiki page on vanity articles? SaltyPig 21:25, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NO!!!!

A Northern Politican, who is notable, has an interesting amout of background information, and has became elected as NDP candidate for the ridding (now) would be a great Wikipedia article. Many articles are redirecting to this deleted link. Why shouldn't your Wikipedia reader be entitled to gain knowledge about someone every Wiki page redirects to? This is taughting Wikipedia readers with knowledge, by not giving them it! Wiki is not paper, it has more space, and can be a great referrence.

-This article in my view is a stub and needs desperately to be worked on, however there is value here, especially as this is the person who took away a sitting MP's nomination when the party is so desperately low on seats.

[edit] SHOULD BE DELETED

I SEE NO REASON THAT THIS PAGE SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE WIKIPEDIA FOLD. NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS OVER AND SHE LOST, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE POINT? DOES THE FACT THAT SHE'S A "TRAVELER" MAKE THIS PAGE WORTHY OF STAYING IN AN ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA??? I'VE DONE TRAVELING OF MY OWN, BUT I'M NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE IN WIKIPEDIA. CAN WE PLEASE COME TO A CONSENSUS ON THIS?

She is a rather newsworthy individual and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of human knowledge. If this doesn't deserve its own article, merge it with Steve Aston. PS: ALL CAPITALS is annoying. Canadianism

RasputinAXP, you shouldn't redirect this page when the AfD voted no consensus, and thus, Keep. CanadianElection 10:04, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

  • If you'd still like it merged, which I think it should be, you can add the '''{{mergeto|[NDP candidates, 2006 Canadian federal election}}''' tag to this page, and the '''{{mergefrom|Niki Ashton}}''' tag to the ndp candidates page.
