Unsuccessful politician. May be a vanity page, or hoax. No evidence this meets WP:GNG. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:15, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Softdelete - not a hoax. Unfortunately, the online references don't provide WP:SIGCOV and the ones without URLs can't be checked. Given the nature of this person I'm inclined to assume they do not, unless proven otherwise. If this is deleted, no objection to re-creation if significant coverage from reliable, independent sources is found. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:04, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, with a caveat. This is not a hoax, but we don't keep articles about unsuccessful candidates unless there's clear evidence of notability, and while his entertaining activities on behalf of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party do get a bit of coverage here and there, it's not enough for a separate article. The caveat is that maybe some bits of this could be merged to the party's article, although at first look I didn't see anything that was an obvious candidate for such a merger.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:59, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It might very generously refer to WP:TOOSOON but almost certainly that won't apply. Barney the barney barney (talk) 09:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Completely non-notable perennial candidate. Tiller54 (talk) 11:17, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per longstanding consensus at AfD for unelected politicians. Carrite (talk) 00:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not at all notable, as a politician. Maqist (talk) 16:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
