Parliamentary candidate on several occasions, but never elected. Holding a seat on a local council does not confer notablility. Nothing in his business/charity work that seems to warrant an article under WP:N. Most reference refer to his selections and other party activities. Link to Telegraph article now appears dead.

  • Delete Highest elected office to date is to a regional council a section of Bury St Edmunds a wonderful place, but pop. ~40,0000, and he doesn't represent all of it. He has stood for Parliament, but has not won. And I cannot find significant [1] profiles or detailed coverage, nothing really beyond routine, local political coverage. Flag me if I've missed something. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 16:22, 19 January 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. County council is not a level of office that passes WP:NPOL — a person at this level of political office can get into Wikipedia if the article can be sourced well enough to satisfy WP:GNG, but does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because he exists. The sourcing here is disproportionately dependent on primary source confirmation of his existence on the website of his political party, self-published sources like his own LinkedIn profile, raw tables of election results and other sources that cannot count toward GNG — and while there are a few legitimately reliable sources in the mix too, there aren't enough of them.
