This was created for an unsuccessful candidate for the 2007 Australian federal election by copying and pasting. He appears to be non-notable and should be deleted as normal for unsuccessful candidates Grahame (talk) 11:24, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete. The first part of the article was copied verbatim from Ruth Russell, introducing the humorous pronoun gender error. Much of the remainder seems to be copied from the top left expandable sidebar of Baumann's profile on a blogging site. I believe the user who created this page (User:Mifren) may be a bot, and will investigate this further. I wish there was a directly applicable speedy deletion criteria so I could put {{db}} on this... perhaps G12? --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 11:52, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps the user is not a bot, but I think that the last part of the page is patent nonsense and the middle part is a copyright violation. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 12:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • One additional comment. It is the original version of the page that gives rise to my concern with its content. Also, what remains does not establish notability anyway. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 12:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Non-notable aspirant to political office. Article fails to establish notability, as required by WP:BIO. Many claims but no references and no in-line citations. Plenty of original research! Dolphin51 (talk) 12:13, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails notability guidelines for politicians. No references. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 12:22, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no sources (now nonsense refs to someone else have been removed); not notable. JohnCD (talk) 12:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Borderline speedy, but an attempt has been made to assert notability (though I don't believe it comes close to passing WP:BIO), so AfD instead--Yeti Hunter (talk) 14:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. I'm surprised it wasn't speedily deleted. Non-notable. --Roisterer (talk) 01:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - True, but at least it makes the barest attempt to establish notability. Speedy is for blatant vanity pages, so i guess an article about the childhood, passions and early political life of a political aspirant written by one of his fellow party members just barely escapes that brutal fate. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 03:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, there's an assertion of notability there so clearly not a speedy, but other than that this is just another garden-variety unsuccessful political candidate, with no other claims to notability. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:47, 4 August 2008 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete: Did someone accidentally post their CV on Wikipedia?--Lester 13:18, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom SatuSuro 23:51, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Yeti Hunter. Only barely clears A7. Campaign ad for a non-notable politician. • Gene93k (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:V and WP:RS. Cliff smith talk 20:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
