Deletion of John Bickley (politician) (2nd nomination)

Comment: I found additional coverage about him generating outrage by retweeting a racist cartoon, and for a business failure. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ukips-great-business-tycoon-john-3068492;https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/13/ukip-spokesman-apologises-for-retweet-of-racially-charged-slogan;http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/ukip-immigration-chief-slammed-outrageous-9810698 http://www.itv.com/news/2017-02-13/ukip-leader-paul-nuttall-stands-by-aide-after-jihadi-for-a-neighbour-retweet/ With the five elections he participated in, and his role as UKIP spokeperson, he just barely passes

Comment: He may not pass,  for failing to win election but he does pass  for that repetitive failure. (irony?). Actually serial failure often brings fames and notability more than single winning (which will give automatic ). His serial failure will now make him known to everybody concerned with the politics and any of his political move again will surely attract press coverage. In addition  the sources by Timtempleton above contain substantial content about the subject and many more are in the article by respected papers The Guardian, Economist, Independent and their like. The only way I can justify supporting deletion is if failure to win election is automatic disqualified for article, and that cannot be possible as long as  exists

Comment: He is UKIP treasurer and has been the UKIP spokesman on immigration for the last year. He is frequently quoted in the national media in connection with these roles. Immigration has been a top political issue in the UK for a long time and will remain so especially while Brexit negotiations are ongoing. Immigration is central to UKIP's policies. His roles make him one of the top ten key people in UKIP, a party that remains an opposition force in British politics. Although he has not been successful in elections we know that UKIP has had an influence in British politics well beyond what would be expected from their standing in elections and that influence continues. He therefore meets general notability guidelines . The article could benefit from some improvements including references to news articles related to his roles, however the sources can easily be found and their existence is enough to establish notability even if they are not currently linked in the article. The article was previously deleted in 2014 and must have been restored because of increased notability from the roles he assumed more recently
