Delete, not notable. Federal election coming up in Canada, look for a lot more of these.....

Delete Fails
WP:POLITICIAN because he has never been elected to high office, and no other convincing claim of notability is made.

Delete due to lack of any place to put him. The
Nepean—Carleton article has neither subarticles for each general election nor coverage of candidates at it. He doesn't meet
WP:POLITICIAN (which suggests that candidates for office who haven't held office should be covered in one of those places) and has no notability other than as a candidate. Obviously, if he wins election, he becomes notable, but until/unless that happens, I don't see where he is. —C.Fred (

To clarify, my recommendation is without prejudice for recreation if he becomes a notable person at some point in the future. I would also have no objection to deleting this article and replacing it with a redirect, if an article about an event related to him becomes warranted. There's an evolving situation regarding vandalism of his campaign posters. That might justify an article about the vandalism or the race for this seat, but per
WP:BLP1E, it won't make Keon notable. —C.Fred (

I'd venture to say that people here agree with you. The subject certainly could become notable but doesn't appear to be at this time.

Vandalism of campaign posters is par for the course. I highly doubt it would actually make him more notable than all of the other candidates it's happened to in the past.

Delete Not notable enough and I don't believe that he would even fall into
WP:POLITICIAN because he has not been elected into any office.

Delete. If a redirect were desired the correct target would be
Liberal Party of Canada candidates, 2011 Canadian federal election, although for what it's worth even the lists only contain extremely barebones information about the candidates (as, for
sourcing and
notability reasons, they rightly should), so a redirect may not actually be helpful. Of course, he can come back if he wins.
