Gordon Massie[edit]

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

Minimally sourced biography of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate in federal and provincial elections. This is not a claim of notability that passes WP:NPOL; if you cannot properly source that they were notable for anything else independent of their candidacies, then the candidacies themselves do not get the person a Wikipedia article.

Delete per nom, basically. There's no sourcing anywhere for this person, and the obituary (the shortest I've ever seen) suggests non-notability as well. Does not pass the GNG, does not pass POLITICIAN. Drmies (talk) 02:58, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete likely as although "Gordon Massie Canada" was the only one to find results at Books, there's nothing to suggest better from what I see. Feel free to restart if better, SwisterTwister talk 05:22, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and above editors. Searches only returned references for a different Massie, who wrote a book on whistleblowing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:46, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
