- Delete As per nom. Clearly fails WP:NPOL. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 02:05, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NPOL. He has attained significant press coverage, [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-2635766/Ex-tobacco-lobbyist-picked-Hutt-South.html even featuring in UK news]. He has [http://www.3news.co.nz/Plain-packets-hurt-competition---Philip-Morris/tabid/1607/articleID/262440/Default.aspx been on television] during his time at Philip Morris. He has been reported on Kiwiblog [http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/tag/chris_bishop several times] for both politics and debating. He has been a staffer for at least two government ministers. Also meets the general notability criterion in WP:N due to wide independent press coverage. Wipkipkedia (talk) 02:54, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NPOL. All sorts of crazy stunts and name-calling during election season, none of which leads to notability unless elected. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - it's established practice here that we delete articles about mere candidates. Bearian (talk) 21:59, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Delete He has not been elected. Other coverage is not enough to establish notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
