I came across this article somewhat by accident while researching another, unrelated Barry Shaw for another article. A quick look at the article showed that the only source was a primary link to the Plaid Cymru website. His main claim to fame is that he ran as a candidate for the National Assembly for Wales election, 2007 for the Vale of Glamorgan constituency. He didn't win and the only sources I can find are a handful of articles where he's briefly mentioned, with the most in-depth article about him seeming to talk about how he abandoned a dog. I'm bringing this here rather than redirect it to Plaid Cymru or (probably more appropriate) to the specific election because I know that there is the chance of there being sources that might be in Welsh or in other sources that wouldn't show up automatically on a Google search. There is just enough doubt for me to bring it here instead. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:55, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there are some false positives about a Michael Jackson body double that are assuredly not for the same person!Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
