Political candidate; no other indication of notability. Per WP:POLITICIAN, that is not enough. I know there is a view that POLITICIAN should be scrapped or ignored, but until there is consensus for that we should apply it. The point of POLITICIAN is that allowing candidates to have articles is an open invitation to COI editing and promotion: I note, for instance, that this article was first created, some time ago, by user Fred Mackintosh ( talk · contribs), and that the author of this version is creating a number of articles about candidates, all for the Liberal Democrat party. Even a neutrally-written article about a candidate constitutes promotion; Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an election notice-board. JohnCD ( talk) 21:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC) reply
