John Grogan (Canadian politician)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Minimally sourced WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a non-winning candidate for political office. All of the four sources here are either raw tables of election results, or news articles about the elections themselves which merely namecheck his existence, so none of them are substantive coverage of him — and the staggering amount of completely unsourced personal detail here suggests a possible conflict of interest. This was created in 2005, so admittedly our inclusion rules for politicians were different at the time than they are now — under WP:NPOL mk. 2015, a person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for running for the leadership of a political party anymore.

Delete - Unelected politician. While I feel that the biographies of elected party leaders should be auto-keeps and would advise accordingly at AfD, this individual finished second in a national leadership election, not first. Carrite (talk) 23:39, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
