• KeepHe is well known within the Birmingham University Guild of Students and the University of Birmingham. He is one of the most recognisable students after his election campaign and has a lot of involvement in committees of both the Guild and the university. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.176.144.237 (talk • contribs).
• Keep He is in part responsible for allowing students to give blood at the Guild, saving many lives and is fighting for an improvement in the library reform system to allow mature students and home students a fair chance to an education, which is very valuable and he deserves recognition for this.81.132.155.19 22:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable biographies for the pair of student politicians, WP:BIO refers.  (aeropagitica)  19:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Do you realize how many times we've heard these sorts of claims about dictatorship? Please read WP:NOT. JoshuaZ 19:36, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom and WP:NOT a crystal ball, student of whom "it is believed" that he might run for local office. Sandstein 19:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per the points cited in the Keep votes above. They clearly show why the entry does not qualify. Fan1967 20:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete nn bio, original research, vanity Bucketsofg 20:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, nn-bio Gu 20:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete in fact this is a CSD A7 speedy candidate. David | Talk 21:01, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I was a student politico too - where's my article? Fishhead64 21:25, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable per WP:BIO. Even if he does run and win in a local election, he would still be non-notable, because local politicians are generally considered as such. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Greg321 22:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I sat on the student council in 10th grade. I would be a nn-bio candidate. Don't take it too hard, but this does not come near WP:BIO guidelines. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:10, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 07:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Elf-friend 06:53, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Note The Policy on Vanity Articles states that; Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion. Therefore this is not a CSD A7

• Delete He is a student politician standing for a position on a significant council. He is therefore not notable at the moment. If he were elected, he might be notable enough. I removed the CSD tag because notability is asserted. Capitalistroadster 06:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. His contributions even at a local level are laughable, consisting of getting drunk and harassing minority groups. Nothing worth remembering.
• Delete. This is so non-notable even god hasn't heard of it. Bobak 21:46, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
