  • Comment-Probably does fail WP:BIO—rather than simply citing WP:BIO in the nomination, it would be useful to have a brief analysis by the nominator as to why they so judge. The debate on candidates at candidates and elections has gone on for a bit. Five years from now the Wikistandard will be (I'd wager) that these articles on candidates are retained since 1) they are likely to appear in future campaigns and therefore there will be a later interest in their past record and 2) they will be of some interest to later historical research. Bottom line—I'm not voting to keep, but my sense is that in the future we will begin keeping these. Williamborg (Bill) 14:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - where a candidate fails to gain office then they need notability independent of their campaign to gain an article - this guy hasn't. BlueValour 15:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
