Local politician for a minor party in Scotland. I can't find coverage in reliable sources that would be sufficiently detailed to warrant an article. Does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO or WP:NPOL. Pichpich ( talk) 00:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they didn't win — and at the local council level, even winning the election wouldn't have gotten him an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself. For someone like this, the only way to get him into Wikipedia would be to show that he would already have qualified for an article on some other grounds independent of being a council election candidate, but nothing here shows that at all.
