The result was keep. Although this person is only
WP:BLP1E, the number keep votes and the reasons behind them overtook the nomination statement and the article was kept. (
non-admin closure)

(state the obvious (or not)) 18:26, 10 December 2011 (UTC) I am voiding this NAC. The close does not follow policy and in acknowledging that BLP1E applies the closer should have called delete, which he hasn't. In reclosing, I see that there is no real argument against BLP1E applying. The guiness world record is not in itsself grounds for separate notability and I have discarded that argument. Beyond that, I'm not really seeing a keep argument that goes beyond general notability and the quality of the vast majority of the arguments leaves a lot to be desired from a policy point of view. Since no credible rename or merge target has appeared I can really only see one outcome here - which is that this is a figure notable for one event only and that this event is not so transcendent to overcome BLP1E. Since this policy overcomes the GNG, the outcome should have been and is Delete per BLP1E

WP:BLP1E - person only notable for one event. This is about a British politician who was deselected as a candidate before the 2005 election due to controversial comments he made about Catholicism. Being a candidate itself is not notable, and I don't think anything in the rest of his biography gives him a claim to notability. The only significant coverage of him I could find relates to the Catholic controversy. This article could be renamed to 2005 Conservative party Catholic controversy or something similar, but I'm not convinced it's even notable enough for that, given the relatively brief period of coverage. This seems to have been a transient controversy with few lasting consequences for anyone other than Mr. Hilton himself. Robofish ( talk) 01:32, 3 December 2011 (UTC) reply
