The result was delete. The fact that he's a canadian politician likely explains the snow in September. TravellingCari 03:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norm Sowden

Former Canadian politician. Lost federal election in 2006, and is not running in current politics. Page has not been edited in over a year, and I don't think that he is going to be heading back into politics anytime soon. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - technically, as only a candidate and not a Member of Parliament, he was never notable in the first place (WP:BIO states member of legislature, not candidate) so the fact he isn't standing now is somewhat irrelevant. Had he been a former MP now not standing he'd still be notable, I believe. But if you weren't notable to start with ....MadScot666 (talk) 00:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, WTH just happened? This was in the September 10 AfD list, I replied, now it's in September 11 instead ??? MadScot666 (talk) 00:14, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The AfD was listed on September 11 (UTC), so it belongs on the September 11 AfD log. Its initial listing on the September 10 AfD log was probably an accident. (I didn't move it here, but I just thought I'd explain anyway.) Cliff smith ^talk 00:27, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - That would probably be my fault. It's still Sep. 10 where I am (western Canada), and I haven't nominated many AfD's. Kaiser matias (talk) 01:06, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Don't worry about it, it happens every now and then. Not a big deal. Cliff smith ^talk 01:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Considering he didn't get elected, there's no real need to have him on Wikipedia. PhishRCool ^{Talk / Contribs / Secret Page} 00:55, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sometimes unsuccessful candidates are notable for their other accomplishments, but in this case, there is no evidence that he is notable as a pastor, either. --Eastmain (talk) 01:56, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
