Not notable. Candidate who receives no support. Does not meet GNG or POLITICIAN. Kittybrewster ☎ 14:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep He may not be an elected candidate but he is Deputy chairman of the BNP, and its organiser for Scotland. That I think does make him notable, he is not just another fai8led politician.Slatersteven (talk) 16:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. He's received some news coverage as deputy chairman of the BNP and regional organiser for Scotland, including Panorama,[1] and he's notorious for giving a Nazi salute:[2]. But I can't find what I'd class as "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources". Fences&Windows 22:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- There are a few others but they do not seem to be more then just mentions that he is standing. There is also a vague BBC profile.
- So he has received some coverage.
- Delete A minor figure in a minor party, little significant news coverage. --Snowded TALK 16:55, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Deputy chairman might just possibly make him notable, but we would need more indication of how important this post is in terms of BNP internal structures, how long he held it etc.. PatGallacher (talk) 18:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A long as it is presenting accurate information, I see no reason to delete it. The only thing I would say is for someone to try and extend it with information such as date of birth or a picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwhite148 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but that argument is contrary to "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", see WP:NOT. PatGallacher (talk) 00:21, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No significant coverage for this person. --Sky4t0k (talk) 06:18, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per sky4t0k. The coverage all seems to be for the party with only incidental mentions for this guy. David V Houston (talk) 19:00, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
