Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Le-Surf
This and other articles nominated below are part of a larger group of articles relating to councillors and candidates in Brentwood, Essex, England, seen at Category:Brentwood. I would happily nominate all of them other than those who have been leaders of the Council or are otherwise notable. The presence of the first few seems to spawning POV articles essentially reproducing election biographies, and could get too much to handle.
However, those which I am nominating now are just those of losing candidates - they have not held public office and no wider notability beyond local campaigning is asserted. We cannot have hundred of articles on failed local politicians on top of articles on every successful one. Perhaps the other articles can be considered individually.
- Michael Le-Surf, failed candidate, nn
- Antony Williams, failed candidate, asserts local notability but seems vanity
- Doris Suckling, failed candidate, nn
- Deborah Wood, failed candidate, nn

- Delete all as per Mtiedemann. I wish there was a speedy delete criterion for failed political candidates and non-incumbents currently running for office with no other claim to notability, except candidates for head of state. -- Kjkolb 03:13, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete all - nn, vanity (esp. Antony Williams). -- MarcoTolo 03:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete all - per nom, plus suggest {{db-failed-politician}}? (j/k) ~Kylu (u|t) 03:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete them all per nom. -- ReyBrujo 05:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, actually, I think they could be speedied per CSD:A7, as they fail WP:BIO for political figures: Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature. and Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage. -- ReyBrujo 05:03, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Delete all per nom. I would speedy them, but I think that being a failed candidate is a claim of notability which would prohibit speedy deletion. TheProject 07:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
