There are two fundamentally important reasons why this article should be deleted.

Firstly, as Paul MacDermott said in the previous AFD, anything that could be said about him can easily go in the menshn section of the article on Louise Mensch. He was never a Member of Parliament, Member of European Parliament, or even a local councillor. Any notability drawn from him has come because of his defection as a party functionary, and not him himself as a notable subject. Coverage regarding his departure from Menshn and relating to Menshn in general can simply be mentioned in the aforementioned section.

The second aspect, and arguably the more pressing one, is that - for reasons beyond my comprehension - this article was created in complete violation of WP:BLP policy, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luke_Bozier&oldid=527094994 right off the back of the subject's arrest for the alleged possession of indecent images of children]. Creating an article on an individual undergoing investigation for a serious criminal offence is astonishingly misguided and completely unacceptable.

To conclude, I recommend in the strongest possible terms regarding WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:PERP that salvageable content be merged to the place it is already relevant, and the entry itself be deleted. WilliamH (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2013 (UTC) WilliamH (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Keep With regards to BLP concerns the article states the factually accurate statements that a) Mr Bozier has been arrested on suspicion of possessing indecent images and b) Mr Bozier denies these charges. A court of law will decide whether or not he is innocent or guilty. If I added libelous content to the article Luke Bozier could of course sue me but all I can see a the moment is a factually accurate account of events which have generated headlines in several newspapers...

  • Keep He's had coverage over his work as a political adviser, e.g.[http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/senior-labour-adviser-defects-to-the-tories-6290220.html], and his involvement in Menshn[http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/People/article1177581.ece], as well as for his arrest, so I don't think WP:BLP1E or WP:PERP apply. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:02, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Why has this been relisted for a third time rather than closed? It's customary to provide a reason. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
