Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Lee (British politician) (3rd nomination)
I would like to acknowledge NBeale's work to try to make this a good article. He acknowledges a conflict of interest, as was discussed in the 2nd AfD nomination when he chose to bow out of the discussion because of it. I will not quibble over whether it is a "major" COI and have struck that word from my opening statement! However, nearly every reference in the article relates to Lee's candidacy at the General Election, where he came a distant third. The argument presented then was that Lee could be the first Chinese MP in the House of Commons: he isn't and didn't come close and wasn't even the first Chinese candidate for a major party (although I'm sure NBeale was acting in good faith when he wrote that he was).  is the obvious guide for us here and Lee clearly fails under those criteria. I also suggest that  is relevant here: nearly all the citations given refer to Lee's candidacy, so any relevant material should be re-directed to Holborn and St Pancras (UK Parliament constituency)|Holborn and St Pancras. One could find multiple local newspaper reports and occasional national newspaper reports about numerous losing candidates at the General Election, but  and  stop the proliferation of articles. I do live in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency and I didn't vote for Lee; I don't think this constitutes a COI, particularly not after the election has happened. I have never met Mr Lee; he sounds like an interesting man and I'd be more than happy to meet him
