Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark McDonald
Most of the article describes his education and his practice as a barrister (=NN).  We then briefly hear that he failed to get elected  makes it clear that makes him NN.  I do not favour redirecting or merging, becasue this NN bio-article can reappear too easily
