Nina Tangri

speedy for vanity. This "political figure" has never actually won any election of any kind. page attacks one of her rivals. Darkfred 20:11, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Merely having run for office does not make a person notable.Allegrorondo 20:21, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not only is the person un-notable, but the article is very weak, un-encyclopediac, and poorly written.--Frag 21:08, August 8, 2005 (UTC)
~~Weak Keep~~ In my books, a person is notable if they run in several elections (win or lose). Hmmmm...I say the limit should be 3 elections. Yah, run in 3 similar elections (ie. all federal or all provincial) and you are notable. This one is close and I am generally an inclusionist on this subject so I'm saying 'weak keep'. But this entry definately needs more biographical and political details. -maclean25 22:22, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've cleaned it up and removed the personal attack. She is close to being a perennial candidate. Notablility has never been accepted by consensus as grounds for deletion. Now that the article is no longer poorly-written, I don't think there is grounds for deletion, let alone speedying it. Let those who are busy creating content get back to their work.

- I have moved her bio to Progressive Conservative candidates, 2003 Ontario provincial election per the consensus established elsewhere that losing candidates in Canadian elections can be included in summary articles on candidates, but not have their own articles. So now I [propose to create a redirect from Nina Tangri to that article. Ground Zero 22:42, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even a perennial candidate is not necessarily going to be notable. David | Talk 22:31, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unnotable. (178 google hits.) --Spudtater 23:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Did a little more NPOVing. Hi, Spinboy, we seem to have different opinions on minor Canadian politicans. Here is her record in the latest national election [1]; she placed second. I think running a couple times in a major election and receiving a respectable share of the vote is grounds for inclusion in Wiki. Wiki is not paper, and this is a fine use of it IMO. The idea of putting her bio in Progressive Conservative candidates, 2003 Ontario provincial election seems odd; she was also a PC candidate in other years as well; do you intend to place copies of the bio in multiple places, such as [[Progressive Conservative candidates, 2000 Ontario provincial election?

comment obvious since i nominated i vote delete. A. With a tiny unique page list on google this woman would be NN except that she is a politician. But B. she is NOT a politician. A politician is someone who serves in public office. I have more google hits! If the only criteria is running I can sign myself up at the registrar for the next council election and get a free wiki page! Politicians primarily need name recognition, she doesn't have it and wikipedia is not a political endorsement. When she has name recognition elsewhere give her an article, but don't provide recognition for someone who has none. --Darkfred 09:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep--major-party candidate for national legislature. Also, from Wiktionary, "politician - one engaged in party politics". Meelar (talk) 15:02, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
Delete.. Anyone can run, it's getting elected that's notable. -R. fiend 16:07, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Now that Tangri's bio has been moved to a list page, the matter is essentially resolved. I'll reduce the page to a redirect in a few moments. CJCurrie 21:26, 9 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
