Prod removed by article creator, who is also the subject of the article. This is the second time that Ian Parsley has created an article about himself on Wikipedia. The previous article was deleted in June 2009. While Wikipedia is not a democracy, the previous AFD was fairly clear with 8 people arguing for his deletion and only 2 for keep, one of them a keep! vote and the other arguing on the basis that Parsley was likely to become an MLA at the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2011. He wasn't even a candidate. In the previous AFD I argued: "the subject has not held any national or regional office and therefore fails WP:POLITICIAN. Coverage in reliable third party sources appears to be lacking. This is as close as it gets and as the BBC has, for reasons of fairness, profiled all candidates (there were only seven of them in Northern Ireland) it doesn't cut it as can be seen from the fact that the non-notable green candidate gets a similar candidate profile. Per countless previous discussions, just being a candidate is not in itself notable." All that still applies and the only other coverage since June 2009 was over a bit of minor controversy when the subject briefly switched to the Conservatives to unsuccessfully contest a Westminster seat where he finished a distant second.
