I believe Finney is not notable as a [http://www.google.co.in/search?q=victor+harold+finney&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] reveals no verifiable third-party sources. Though the article is sourced, most of the sources seem to be biographies of Lloyd George, which makes me think that Finney was given a trivial mention (though I cannot be sure of this).

Keep - elected MP (see WP:POLITICIAN), verifiable from sources given in article. DuncanHill (talk) 11:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

:The problem lies with the sources themselves. [[User:Antivenin|A]]v N 11:24, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

::Just because sources cannot be reached on Google does not mean they should be discounted. Also, your linked Google search includes the Hansard record of him taking the oath as an MP. Hansard is the journal of record for parliamentary proceedings in the UK. DuncanHill (talk) 11:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy keep - MPs are automatically notable. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:22, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

:Well, no. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability... A v N 11:24, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

::Read the very first line of WP:POLITICIAN - People who have held international, national or first-level sub-national political office, including members of a legislature and judges - MPs are members of a national legislature. DuncanHill (talk) 11:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

:::My bad then. I'll withdraw my nomination. A v N 11:38, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

::::Cool, thanks! DuncanHill (talk) 11:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

:::::Well, if I knew how to. =/ Could someone please close this? A v N 11:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
