Non-notable British politician. Has never held elected office (above the local council level), and as he isn't standing as a candidate in the next election, is unlikely to in the near future. A search for sources only finds trivial coverage relating to his various failed elections, and no references that would justify keeping this article under WP:BIO.

I concur pretty much entirely with the above. There's coverage of him, yes, but it's coverage of him as a candidate in an election that he lost, rather than coverage of any other part of his career. Shimgray | talk | 22:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - non-notable person. - Ahunt (talk) 22:55, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I think that repeated failed candidates in general elections are minor notable persons. But, for me, a candidate from a major party in a by-election is always notable. If he is notable enough to be listed in our constituency and by-election articles, this page is notable enough to stay, as it points the reader to other elections where he also stood. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. I agree with Hroðulf, and also find the bio subject's sojourn in Ireland to be of interest. JamesMLane t c 02:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Birmingham Hodge Hill by-election, 2004. If we do count candidates for by-elections as more notable than the usual Parliamentary candidates (and I'm still not sure I'd count as candidate who never stood a chance in that constituency), it's still a WP:BLP1E.
