Non-noteworthy. City councillors are not noteowrthy per se. Holds no higher office; just a ward councillor Mtaylor848 (talk) 09:59, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and United Kingdom. Shellwood (talk) 12:02, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Simply not meeting WP:NPOL does not itself make a person non-notable. Can the nominator clarify how they think this subject does not met WP:GNG? Curbon7 (talk) 00:20, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly is the claim to notability? As far as I can see the page is about a city councillor; which in itself is not noteworthy. He has no other office or anything else which suggests noteworthiness. Mtaylor848 (talk) 01:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, despite not meeting NPOL, municipal politicians can still be notable through WP:GNG if there is sufficient significant coverage of them. Curbon7 (talk) 01:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would lean towards keep, since becoming a councillor just a couple of months ago he has made national headlines about two different incidents. Orange sticker (talk) 09:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I would add a couple more to the sources in the article [1][2]. In my opinion this is enough to pass WP:GNG. Tau Corvi (talk) 20:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree that not all councillors are notable, but I think GNG has been reached - this includes hid gardening (I'm sure he was on Gardener's World in the pandemic), but there is coverage here, here & here from 2022 Lajmmoore (talk) 18:08, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
