Nick Vaughan

This article is in substance the same as the article deleted at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Paul_Bristow, in that its subject's sole claim to notability is that he is Chairman of Conservative Future. This is not notable to warrant an independent encyclopedia article, while that salient fact is already covered at Conservative Future.

• Delete per nomination. The Land 19:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, he's still notable, being the Chairman of Conserative Future makes you notable. If this isn't notable enough for you, then you better look at every single stub, see if they all warrant their own articles. Quentin Pierce 19:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

  As I say, the fact he's in that position is covered in the Conservative Future article The Land 19:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep I'd like to see this article expanded to explain why this person is notable. However, as far as I am aware all Chairmen and executives are notable people. Jtrost 23:41, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There is high turnover in these types of positions, and I don't see this position being enough to justify his own article. I notice that the national officers of the Young Republicans don't have their own articles, except for one who also holds elective office. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Conservative Future. Two sentences don't make a stub - they make a seed. B.Wind 04:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Vanity. This is a pure ego booster: plain and simple. The National Chairman of CF is not important. Look how much else he has to say about himself! His name is already included on the CF Page, so it doesn't need merging.
• Keep - this guy is the elected head of a 10'000 member organisation and an up and coming British politician. David 09:22, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. When he has actually come up he can get his own article, but not before. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 11:31, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - The turnover is not high, it's once ever year or two years. He plays a major role in the Conservative party. It should stay User:Liney 16:39, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • This seems to be a badly-signed comment by User:83.104.57.114, who has made no other contributions so far. The Land 16:41, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Liney is his girlfriend - hardly surprising she wants him to keep his vanity page. The role is paid lip service by the Conservative Party.
• Delete: Vanity. God this guy loves himself. Get rid of the damned thing. Totally pointless - as his achievements suggest. CF National Chairman is no big deal - unless we're gonna start including scout leaders too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.240.229.7 (talk • contribs)
