Single-sourced biography of a city councillor, in a city not large enough to hand its city councillors an automatic WP:NPOL pass just for existing. As always, city councillors only get an immediate presumption of notability in internationally prominent global cities on the order of New York City, Chicago, Toronto or London -- in cities on the order of Hamilton, Ontario, city councillors are accepted as notable only if they can be well-sourced to a depth and range of coverage that marks them out as significantly more notable than the norm for city councillors. But this demonstrates nothing of the sort; it just cites his brief entry in a local biographical dictionary, which is not enough all by itself. And having had a city park or neighbourhood named after him is not an exemption from having to have more reliable source coverage than this, either -- most municipal infrastructure in most cities is named after former aldermen and mayors and merchants and other local figures, so it doesn't inherently make Inch special. There's simply not enough substantive sourcing here to deem him notable for any of this. Bearcat (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

 * delete The only source given is unavailable and I'm a bit dubious that it contains all of this info. In particular I could not verify that the neighborhood is named after him, and that's all that begins to constitute a significant claim to notability. Mangoe (talk) 17:37, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Inch Park. I did a little searching, added a couple of sources about Inch, and I suggest that we move this article title and create a new article about Inch Park.  The park, built on part of Adam and Jaqueline Inch's old farm,  has quite a lot of coverage down the decades, and the Inches are remembered as founders of the neighborhood around the park.  the park is large, with ball fields and an ice hockey arena.  And there is coverage of the Park in regional and local press over the decades .  E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:24, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
