Aside from the fact that the vast majority of this article is a copyright violation of the "about Tim" page of his local party [http://www.poplarconservatives.com/ website], I do not believe that this article meets the general notability criteria. Neither local councillors nor parliamentary candidates are inherently notable and have never been considered to be so on Wikipedia - his media profile is distinctly local and is no greater than any other PPC or active local councillor. Note that this is covered in point 3 of WP:POLITICIAN. Rje (talk) 18:34, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Redirect to Poplar and Limehouse (UK Parliament constituency)#Candidates at the 2010 general election. The nominator is right that this guy fails WP:POLITICIAN. I think it would be good to follow the "general rule" here and redirect to the election page because most people who punch "Tim Archer" into the search box ought to at least be taken to the election page. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:55, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Delete WP:POLITICIAN is clear. Come back if he's elected as an MP. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Anyone standing against George Galloway gets my approval. Sadly, that's not grounds to keep an article, so redirect like we do for most Parliamentary candidates. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
