Alison Wheeler

Blatant vanity. This woman is of no importance or interest and really shouldn't be on wikipedia 163.1.239.33 10:24, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

and this is said by an IP address editor? Do Oxford University know you are posting this? Plenty of links in and out so far as I can see, and doesn't meet the charge of 'vanity' as not written by the subject of the article. --Vamp:Willow 11:00, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Established political person. Be careful about your tone Willow. It sounded a bit agressive. Mgm|^(talk) 12:23, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

sorry ... a case of seeing a VfD posted by an IP address that has apparently done nothing previous to asking for a deletion makes one suspect the motives (ie a personal attack during an election campaign?) --Vamp:Willow 13:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Current subject is marginal, reads like a CV. Could probably be rewritten into an article about the Beautiful South singer of the same name. I'll work on it if nobody else wants to. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:17, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
Delete She simply isn't prominent enough. Google search for "Alison Wheeler" + Delga gets 33 hits, 20 of them from Wikipedia or mirrors, and 4 from her personal website. Dsmdgold 15:22, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, major(ish) party candidate for national parliament. Kappa 20:31, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) Oops I think I misread something. Kappa 21:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep also widely-known LGBT activist --Vamp:Willow 21:14, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
If she's a candidate for Parliament from the Lib Dems, keep, but this fact is not indicated in the article. Meelar (talk) 21:16, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
- My mistake, she does not appear to be a parliamentary candidate. Kappa 21:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep, parliamentary candidate or not. Good Wikipedians like creator Jdforrester and subsequent editors VampWillow and Bearcat do not write up "blatant vanity" articles. Samaritan 23:10, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Why thank you. I'm a "good Wikipedian" now? Gosh. James F. (talk) 15:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
keep. She's on the LibDem's English Council. Not my party, in case you were wondering. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:15, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, notable LGBT activist. Looking at the history page I dont think it was vanity. Megan1967 03:55, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Blatantly not a vanity article. ed g2s • talk 16:42, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, err, obviously. ;-) James F. (talk) 15:58, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strong keep for the article. Strong delete the troll who nominated this. - Lucky 6.9 07:40, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
