[edit] Leon spence

Not notable. Not been elected to any public position. Also, autobiographical. Chris 09:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Getting chosen as a candidate for a ward is not a claim of notability, as in most parties there is no real competition. Sam Blacketer 10:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - the article virtually deletes itself. Patently non-notable. Moreschi ^{Request a recording?} 11:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, simply unnotable. What next, someone making an article for their den mother? "Vandalizing secular website" Merit Badge? -- feb^talk 12:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable politician, one of the ones whom the people notablility guideline applies to when saying "Just being an elected local official does not guarantee notability." James086^Talk 13:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

weak keep yes this article is autobiographical but remains factual and referenced, if being a candidate is non notable then the article should be deleted, however this article should be cross referenced with anoth AfD Tim Kalemkarian who has repeatedly stood for candidacy through self nomination and it would appear that the general discussion favours a keep. I, on the other hand, have been nominated through a candidacy process and local selection. Clarification is requiredas to level of notability that selected candidacy brings versus self nomination?Leonspence 17:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
