Local politician only, fails WP:NPOLITICIAN. Edwardx (talk) 16:27, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: There does seem to be some independent coverage of him (see both the article and one other that's not there), but outside of it, there's nothing. I think he's on the bubble of being notable, but right now he's on the wrong side of it. Nomader (talk) 17:26, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I agree with Nomader. He is currently not a national level politician. Maybe he can get an article later. Technology Drive (talk) 17:31, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. County councillors are not accorded an automatic notability freebie under WP:NPOL just for existing — of his 39 other colleagues on the council, just four of them actually have standalone biographies, and all four of those have some other claim of notability (e.g. being a present or former TD) beyond just being a county councillor. But the depth and volume of sourcing present here is nowhere near enough to get him over the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders — if one newspaper article and a raw table of election results were all it took, we'd have to keep an article about every county councillor on the entire planet.
