BLP of a failed parliamentary candidate. Had brief notability as a candidate against the sitting Prime Minister at the time. Does not meet NPOL. Cowlibob ( talk) 21:40, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

- Comment Coverage from 2005 [1] I see later coverage as he was appointed as the independent expenses compliance officer- [2] [3] [4] though apparently only interim. Galobtter ( talk) 14:30, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Unsuccessful candidates for political office do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates, being a competing candidate in the Prime Minister's constituency isn't a free notability boost, and campaign-related coverage doesn't get them over WP:GNG by itself because every candidate for anything could always show some — to consider his candidacy a special case because media coverage, we would have to see some proof that he got significantly more media coverage than most candidates could routinely expect to receive. The only potential notability here is his apparent stint as the expenses compliance officer — but even then, I'd still need to see more substance and sourcing about his work in that role than just a couple of media hits announcing his initial appointment.
