 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

While the last debate reached no consensus that was because there was confusion over Walker. This article was pointed out to me in another AfD dicussion over a different page, and I realised this was also a prime target for discussion. Walker was notable from one event when he made a gaffe as a mere administrative staff member for a local council, a assembly which is the most junior kind of political body in the UK. It was also pointed out in the last AfD discussion that many of the edits were made to this page and his brother's page, which could indicate non-notability and peacocking. I do not think there is enough notability for a page Westminsterstudent (talk) 04:59, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 Since being a local borough councillor is not an office that satisfies WP:NPOL, a controversy involving him just makes him a WP:BLP1E rather than somebody who should have an encyclopedia article. In addition, most of the sourcing here is to primary sources, with not enough reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of failing NPOL. So it's a delete, I'm sorry to say.

 * Delete. He is non notable, I went though his refs and from doing that it becomes apparent who he is - a very ordinary person and not a media personality as this article claims. Szzuk (talk) 08:20, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Add. All of the keep votes from the first afd were from a sock. Should have gone last time. Szzuk (talk) 08:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - The subject fails to meet general notablity guidelines and the article looks very much like a promotional piece, especially given the sockpuppetry situation regarding the article's creator and previous defenders.

 * Delete - although there are a lot of links given, most are either not reliable secondary sources or are not primarily about this individual; the main exception being the single event about his you tube indiscretion. As such, it doesn't meet the notability criteria. AndrewRT(Talk) 22:20, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
