Comment: Candidate hasn't been elected to national assembly and frankly doesn't stand a chance of being elected there either at the next election. Whichever way we look at it he fails . As for the rules I think they're fine as changing them would introduce even more systematic bias than already exists but this is an argument for another place

Comment: I worry the arguments presented here are political amended from previously over-assertive statement, as many other biographies in Wikipedia are significantly less notable than a major party candidate for national office in an upcoming election, and receive nonesuch discussion.  For full disclosure, I am the author of this article.  This article does not endorse the candidate nor does it aim to disparage the competition.  It presents a neutral biography.  Furthermore the arguments for deletion in this discussion are a distortion of Wikipedia policy, and as such are simply not credible.  Wikipedia's notability guidelines clearly state they are not firm policy as many on this page seem to believe see , but rather a consensus among the community.  This article aims to establish a precedent of giving readers the ability to research a candidate as they would be able to an incumbent.  Additionally, the  that has been cited states that unelected candidates can be considered notable if given significant coverage.  Refer to the added external links for a sampling of the coverage this candidate has received.  His position as chair of the Young Fabians also gives him added notability compared to most candidates
