This is one of many dumping grounds for biographies of non-notable unelected politicians. It is a compromise approach, between those wanting deletion of non-notable bios and those who want to keep them. They're kept, fully intact, but grouped up in a here. There's only a small number of bios now, but this will grow when the election is called. Prior to nominating, I considered simply fixing it, by removing all the WP:BLP information that's not properly cited. But, the problem is, that it's *all* unsourced. Every word. What's happening is political party operatives write promotional pieces for candidates, usually copy/pastes from their web site. These promo articles are spotted by an established Wikipedian, who sees they're not notable, and then merges it into an article like this. Now, if somebody wishes to go to the effort of making an article that's an actual list of all Liberal candidates, than that might be good, but I suggest it's probably easier to create a true list from scratch, since you don't want to have a section for each item in a list. This has one-section per riding, because it's designed to have full bios for each riding's candidate. Every reason we have for deleting non-notable biographies should apply to deleting a holding tank for non-notable biographies. Rob ( talk) 03:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
