Per deleted PROD: article does not meet the criteria for Biographies of living persons: POV issues, lack of notoriety Illia Connell (talk) 07:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete His only claim to notoriety that I can tell is twice running as a failed candidate: once for federal parliament in Toronto and once for a policy position in the party. I vote to delete. Big blue bridge (talk) 17:44, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to By-elections to the 41st Canadian Parliament#Victoria. Simply being a candidate is not sufficient to have a Wikipedia article; the person must be otherwise notable. Note that routine election coverage will not be sufficient to meet WP:GNG in this case. Finally, the previous deletion discussion doesn't really help us here, since a number of arguments there no longer meet current policies for notability (particularly the assertions that notability isn't required for independent articles).

Redirect I agree with Qwyrxian, simply being a candidate is not sufficient to have a Wikipedia article; the person must be otherwise notable. This article should be deleted to redirected to either list of 41 by-election. Moss rocks (talk) 18:19, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete then redirect No notoriety. It's clear Summerville has written most of the content. No citations, many dubious claims, and NPOV issues throughout. I vote to delete then redirect to the 41 By-election page. 24.69.85.97 (talk) 18:10, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Lack of clear notoriety. I also vote to delete and redirect to the byelection page. 174.116.185.54 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
