- Delete. This article is bias and is clearly written to promote the personality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacleaner ( talk • contribs) 29 November 2015
- Snow Keep - as the Leader of the Opposition in South Africa, he is clearly notable. Article is well-sourced. If it is indeed biased, then it should be rewritten to remove the bias, not deleted. Chessrat ( talk, contributions) 01:52, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. Clearly notable per WP:POLITICIAN. Ridiculous nomination. -- Necrothesp ( talk) 15:37, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep. No need to pile on with the same arguments as above, but this is clearly notable through WP:GNG, first and foremost, and WP:POLITICIAN second. I'd recommend an admin close this "debate" as soon as possible. HOT WUK ( talk) 18:51, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. I have been deleting some content and editing the page with reliable sources to help make it more objective - not just good news. It is work-in-progress. He is a new leader of the party and remains to be seen how he will do overall. (anonymous)
- WP:SNOW keep – Not only is he blatantly notable as the opposition leader of the world's 24th-most populous country, but having skimmed the article, I also see no obvious signs of bias. Graham ( talk) 00:36, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy keep, obviously passed notability as MP. -- Soman ( talk) 20:49, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- WP:SNOW keep per everyone (except the nom, who deserves a WP:Trout for this ridiculous nomination). The article is quite obviously not biased in favour of the subject, there is quite a lot of content about criticism of him - some of which seems rather trivial and gratuitous, IMHO. In any case article bias is not fixed by deletion when the subject is so blatantly notable. Roger (Dodger67) ( talk) 17:21, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
