Not really notable engouh. Philip Stevens (talk) 20:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - only claims to fame are being an unsuccessful Parliamentary candidate and chair of an obscure local group. Warofdreams talk 20:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - I live in the Ealing Southall constituency and I think that Nigel Bakhai is notable enough, because he's doing more work in the constituency than the current MP, Virendra Sharma. I'm not a member of any political party, simply a concerned resident. If you don't believe me, come for a visit, I'll show you round the area and you can see how it's getting far less representation from it's MP than it deserves, and how other local politicians like Bakhai are moving in to fill the gap. If Wikipedia can have a Victoria Beckham article, it can have this. 20:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liz haas (talk • contribs)

• Delete. Fails to meet WP:BIO as Parliamentary candidates are not considered notable enough for their own encyclopaedia entry. - Galloglass 20:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Nowhere near notable. Gaffertape (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep He wasn't just a parliamentary candidate in a general election, but the candidate who came second in a very high profile by-election. The amount of news coverage that this generated makes Nigel Bakhai notable. In fact, he received more national news coverage during the course of the by-election campaign than many backbench MPs get in a whole parliament. Liberaljon (talk) 08:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment, if he were that notable, you'd think a page would have been created at the time of the by-election. --Philip Stevens (talk) 08:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
