Notability[edit]

I've read and re-read this, and I'm unclear as to why this subject is sufficiently notable to merit an article.

He provides political advice like countless others. The leak and 'influence' elements are shaky. He's married to a peer. He's a former, non-notable, local councillor.

If that merits an article, then there should be another 500,000 articles like this about unelected advisers who are the subject of tittle tattle, and even more about councillors who failed to make it in local government.

We could then start a category about spouses of British peers based entirely on their marital status. Or perhaps not. :)

Personally, I would mark for deletion. 84.68.187.0 (talk) 22:51, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
