Not notable as a political candidate (fails WP:NPOL). Doubtfully notable as a software-whatever and a trainspotter. FUNgus guy (talk) 07:39, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not notable as a politician yet, but there aree significant independent sources on his software career and trainspotting (more for the former than the latter) presented in the article that establish his notability. His role in Internet Relay Chat is discussed in this news piece once featured on Linux.com [1], and there's an in-depth piece on him in the Linux Magazine [2]. Graham's trainspotting (S2E9) is discussed in a British Columbian educational television network on the other side of the country [3], and he is cited as an expert in a Globe and Mail article on new train developments [4]. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 20:22, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep at this seems notable, acceptable and adequately sourced for now. SwisterTwister talk 06:54, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep Since he just won election as the new MP for Laurentides—Labelle (already mentioned on and linked from that page), he now qualifies as notable as a politician under item 1 of WP:NPOL, in addition to the above reasons from other aspects of his life. I can dig up some articles discussing his political candidacy if necessary (note some of them might be in French), but it's unambiguous that he has now been elected as a member of a national legislature.

Keep - agreed, just elected as MP. Here's one source: Élections fédérales 2015: Majorité de 1 475 votes pour Graham Altenmaeren (talk) 18:23, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
