Non notable local councillor. Article created for promotional purposes as subject is a candidate in forthcoming Irish general election. Fails WP:Politician. Note that his candidacy does not make him notable. Snappy (talk) 15:09, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Certainly non-notable right now. If he wins election to the Parliamentary constituency will that make him notable? It's not clear to me whether such election is tantamount to election to the Irish parliament, or not. --MelanieN (talk) 01:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - To clarify, he is standing for election in the Louth parliamentary constituency to the lower house of the national parliament of the Republic of Ireland in the 2011 Irish general election, so if he is successful that would automatically make him notable under WP:Politician, section 1 Current polls suggest it is highly unlikely he will be elected, however if defies the predictions and is elected, then this article can be re-created.
