Unreferenced campaign-style bio of an unelected candidate in a city council election who doesn't yet meet WP:POLITICIAN. Though obviously an article about him could potentially be reinstated in the fall if he wins, Wikipedia isn't a place to post campaign brochures for politicians seeking their first notable office. Delete without prejudice against recreation if circumstances change. Bearcat (talk) 01:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject fails WP:POLITICIAN, and the article reads like a campaign bio. Wikipedia is not for promotion. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 02:33, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per all above. Anna Lincoln 12:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per WP:POLITICIAN, which now explicitly recommends against deletion in cases such as these. A proper target would be Toronto municipal election, 2010#Ward 27: Toronto Centre. Ray^Talk 18:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
