Talk:Tim Young (politician)

Is he Notable?
Tim Young is a council leader for the third placed Labour group on Colchester council and he's the Labour candidate in the upcoming by-election. I accept that the notability is borderline, but it seems to me to be on the wrong side of that border.

It would be nice to see more sources.

 * Looks to me to fail WP:POLITICIAN. I have proposed deletion. Bondegezou (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link, there appear to be two main areas:
 * 2.Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.
 * 3.Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".
 * So it looks like he could do with more coverage.
 * Surprised the PROD's not been taken down as this is a borderline decision and I'm half inclined to take it down but probably won't be bothered to put up and AfD (I suspect there's coverage hiding around about him - although I've found a traffic offence so far).
