David Oliver (Canadian politician)[edit]

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

WP:BLP1E of an unelected political candidate, whose only discernible claim of having greater notability than the norm for that endeavour is the fact that he filed a defamation lawsuit over the reasons why he was dropped as a candidate (and even that was eventually withdrawn because he got an apology.) But again, that just makes him a WP:BLP1E, with no substantive reason why he would earn permanent coverage in an international encyclopedia for it and no credible indication of preexisting notability for anything else. There's a lot of unsourced biographical detail here, and no good sourcing possible for most of it -- so there's no basis for a WP:GNG claim either. Delete.

Delete Fails WP:NPOL. Clear case of WP:BLP1E connected to an incident with no lasting significance. AusLondonder (talk) 22:44, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nothing at all convincing for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister talk 05:28, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
