Deletion of George Lee (British politician) (3rd nomination)

Comment: I would like to acknowledge NBeale's work to try to make this a good article. He acknowledges a conflict of interest, as was discussed in the 2nd AfD nomination when he chose to bow out of the discussion because of it. I will not quibble over whether it is a "major" COI and have struck that word from my opening statement! However, nearly every reference in the article relates to Lee's candidacy at the General Election, where he came a distant third. The argument presented then was that Lee could be the first Chinese MP in the House of Commons: he isn't and didn't come close and wasn't even the first Chinese candidate for a major party (although I'm sure NBeale was acting in good faith when he wrote that he was).  is the obvious guide for us here and Lee clearly fails under those criteria. I also suggest that  is relevant here: nearly all the citations given refer to Lee's candidacy, so any relevant material should be re-directed to Holborn and St Pancras (UK Parliament constituency)|Holborn and St Pancras. One could find multiple local newspaper reports and occasional national newspaper reports about numerous losing candidates at the General Election, but  and  stop the proliferation of articles. I do live in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency and I didn't vote for Lee; I don't think this constitutes a COI, particularly not after the election has happened. I have never met Mr Lee; he sounds like an interesting man and I'd be more than happy to meet him

Comment: But he is no longer a candidate as there is no election, at this time he is only a possible candidate. To be a candidate there has to be an election to contest. For example his p0age as a tory candidate no longer exits. It is rystal to assume he may be re-selceted

Comment: I argued to keep at the previous AFD, but only because it was conceivable he might win election to Parliament. As he hasn't, I don't think there's enough here to pass  or . The coverage is limited and transitory; essentially, this is a  candidate, with no evidence of lasting notability

Comment: i think there's enough "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" to pass .  point 3 says unelected candidates can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion

Comment: I do know George - but that does not constitute a "major COI" and I think the page is pretty NPoV. FWIW it seems that the AfD Nom may be motivated by political hostility, which could be seen as COI as well. There was plenty of  media coverage and this has continued after the last AfD debate so by our guidelines he should be kept. Political hostility should not play a part

Comment: being Chinese in Britain is (thankfully) not notable. Nothing in the article suggests he meets notability criteria and he fails
