Deleted in a previous AfD and re-created with no discussion. Nothing has changed since the previous AfD: Hanley does not meet WP:POLITICIAN Bondegezou (talk) 14:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article was (re)created by User:Rathfelder, who has created similar articles for several other Labour Party candidates. I have PROD'd several and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adrian Heald is also ongoing. I've put a note on his/her Talk page, but would welcome further review from other editors.

Delete. Non-notable candidate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Is not a notable candidate for office. Tiller54 (talk) 17:46, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The subject fails WP:POLITICIAN and has no other visible claim to notability; no reason to overturn previous AfD consensus. AllyD (talk) 18:01, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Simply being an as-yet-unelected candidate in an ongoing or future election is not, in and of itself adequate notability to justify a Wikipedia article under WP:NPOL — either you demonstrate that the candidate was already notable enough to qualify for an article under a different inclusion criterion before they were named a candidate, or they do not become notable enough for a Wikipedia article until they win the election.

Note: the creator of this article has changed it to a re-direct to the constituency (at my suggestion, as a way to preserve work done should the individual become notable at a later date). Should we wind up the AfD? Bondegezou (talk) 22:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
