Nineham is essentially a functionary in a very small (but notable) political party in the UK. While his party is notable and contains notable persons, this notability does not transafer to Nineham.
He fails Wikipedia policy for notability for politician which determine that only those politicians "who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures." or are "(m)ajor local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are notable. Nineham is neither. He is also not a noted political philosopher (nor even a leading theorist in his own party) but writes pamphlets for his party and articles in his party's paper. Just about every non-junior member of this small group does this.
He is also not a noted union figure nor a noted extra-parliamentary figure - all he does in that regard is sit on a steering committee of an extra-parliamentary group. Bigdaddy1981 05:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Non notable political activist. Entirely fails Wikipedia criteria for politicians. Nick mallory 07:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. Turned up a couple of news stories (in leftist media) quoting him, he has been published and does seem to be an important political organizer in left circles in England. Not outlandishly far from the notability bar, but I agree with nom that he does not make it.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 07:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Politics-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 15:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Unless his band gets AFDed, His name would survive as a redirect to the band by WP:BAND. This would be an inadequate representation of this person who is now more of a politician. I would delete without his band info.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment my understanding was that Nineham drummed for the June Brides for 1 year and on none of their albums (I might be wrong and he might have drummed on Eight Million Stories) that doesn't sound like that makes him notable as a musician either. Bigdaddy1981 22:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Marginal, but his association with both the band and the party makes him notable enough in my opinion. —Xezbeth 08:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Assuming this is the Chris Nineham from the Stop the War Coalition, the Military Families Against the War, Globalise Resistance, and organiser of the conference against Third World debt, there is enough WP:RS material to write an article on him. That makes him Wikipedia Notable, even if his is not notable (e.g., famous or important) as that term commonly is understood. -- Jreferee (Talk) 20:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
