Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Wright (politician)
WP:POLITICIAN exists for a reason; being a general consensus that neither local politicians normere candidates are notable. There are, of course, exceptions and that's why we have . However, all of the coverage cited in this article is local. Even then, there's nothing that primarily covers the subject of the article (Mark Wright) in any great detail. But most of all, we have to question the ''reliability'' of these local sources: many local newspapers with low circulation (which constitute the vast majority of sources here) generally just churn out press releases. Take http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/Bristol-MP-backs-calls-change-politicians-expenses/article-896239-detail/article.html this for instance: "Mark Wright welcomes an announcement by his own party's leader". That's not reliable journalism. That's PR. The unreliability of the sources is reflective in this article, which is a totally uncritical PR job. That's why we require significant coverage in ''reliable sources'' as the standard for notability, ''not'' significant coverage in ''any sources''. When that distinction, and the reasons behind it, are understood, this article fails
