- No vote, but this article could easily be moved to a list page if the consensus is to delete. CJCurrie 03:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - just an election candidate. No indication of notability. --GrantNeufeld 11:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Grant, you have no right to want to delete articles on others after defending your own article so profuthesly. -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I have been supporting the general direction (which seems to be shifting of late) of not including articles on people whose notability comes from being a (not yet elected) candidate in an election. I have not cited my having been a candidate in an election as support for inclusion of the article on me. (Please note that I have not been pushing any political agenda in this, and have supported deleting many Green Party candidate articles - and the only candidate articles I've nominated for deletion have been Greens.) As to whether I have the "right" to support (or oppose) votes for deletion, I would think that I have the same right as any other active contributor to Wikipedia. --GrantNeufeld (contrib) 09:32, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep - it's a well written article about someone who has at least had involvement in notable events. I'm not familiar enough with the subject area to say for sure, but he might be of interest Robdurbar 19:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep per Robdurbar; appears to be a marginally notable local figure. --Muchness 20:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep from what I can tell, the CBC got their 2006 election information from this article.[1] Also, the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada sent The Mirror this Wikipedia article to profile this candidate. To me that is good use and promotion of wikipedia, and good reason to keep this article and other articles like it. --Mista-X 19:58, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Marcell Rodden does not appear to have done anything to be worthy of having a Wiki definition - Dogmatic 23:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
