  • James Forsyth. Non verifiable, non notable, possible vanity entry. Angela. 03:40, May 18, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: it is verifiable (follow the external links on Ruzwana Bashir), and perhaps marginally notable, if the election made a major newspaper. Everyking 06:11, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: nonnotable, twentysomething vanity. Associated with Ruzwana Bashir, a slightly notable person, but if he brushed with fame, it didn't stick. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:32, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Oxford Union is famous, former presidents include William Gladstone (PM of the UK) and Benazir Bhutto (former PM of Pakistan). The election was controversial. But... I feel that only the winner of the election is sufficiently notable for inclusion. If Mr Forsyth does get his name in the media as the main subject of an article, rather than mentioned in passing, at some point in the future then we can recreate. And he is a tool Average Earthman 16:22, 18 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Same reasons as above. Timrollpickering 09:46, 23 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
