I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:86.17.222.157 with the following rationale "contest deletion - clearly passes WP:POLITICIAN". However, unless the article is simply badly worded, it seems that the subject was never elected - he served as an unelected party official (secretary) and failed at a local election, neither of which makes him notable in light of the cited guidelines. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:48, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
