Deletion of Edgar Griffin

Comment: into Nick Griffin into  His son is the BNP chairman, his wife is a BNP candidate who ran against the guy whose campaign he joined, then because answered calls for his wife's campaign, he is kicked out of the party .. the failure of a failed party chairman to vet his campaign works doesn't really make him notable. An argument could be made that he is not even notable as a |politician.  The only reason anyone knows who he is is because of his son.  Otherwise, this would not have been reported anywhere.  He and his wife are also http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/feb/29/thefarright.italy accountants for some school run by an italian neo-fascist who has connections to their son.   Should that be included in the article as well? I actually would lean towards deleting, but, merging the relevant material (parents have connections/are members of the BNP members as well) into Nick Griffin seems reasonable

Comment: WP:BLP1E states "''If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them.''" The low profile requirement certainly fails in this case as we have sources from 2001 for the expulsion, a follow-up story in 2002 and further interest in 2009 caused by claims made by his son. It also doesn't matter if he fails  as he passes the Basic criteria at the top of that page "''A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be needed to prove notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.''" Within the sources is at least one interview by a reliable, independent source; that cannot be considered trivial as it is specifically about him and the source is valid. Multiple reliable sources are also in place to support the article

Comment: to Nick Griffin. This is virtually a : the only significant coverage relates to his expulsion from the Conservative party in 2001. While there is some minor coverage at later dates, it's hard to argue that makes him notable. I think he deserves mention in his son's article, but not an article of his own
