 * Delete Non-notable local politician. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination, city councillors aren't normally notable enough for an article, and "one of the youngest councilors in the province" adds little to that. Uncle Roy (talk) 15:47, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Firstly, cities of just 24K do not hand their city councillors a free WP:NPOL pass just for existing — the only cities that can do that are metropolitan global cities on the order of Toronto, Chicago, New York City or London. Secondly, being among the youngest holders of an otherwise non-notable office counts for all of exactly nothing toward boosting his notability either — a person is not automatically more notable than his colleagues just because he's younger than they are. Thirdly, as yet non-winning mayoral candidates don't get articles just for the fact of being mayoral candidates — and in a city of 24K, he still wouldn't be guaranteed a Wikipedia article even if he wins the mayoral election. And fourthly, the article's edit history reveals that this is an WP:AUTOBIO created by Arjun Randhawa himself — but Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform for people to create articles about themselves. To qualify for an article, he would have to be shown and sourced as significantly more notable than the norm for a smalltown municipal politician — but nothing here demonstrates or sources that at all.

 * You might want to read the history more carefully -- the autobio created was about a different Arjun Randhawa-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:20, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * My apologies. But that doesn't change much about my opinion, because it was never the crux of the point. Bearcat (talk) 11:55, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  00:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep In looking for sources for the original autobio before deleting it, I came across the other Arjun Randhawa. The CBC article prompted me to change the article to this one, but I'd really like to see other sources than his local newspaper before making a strong case for notability.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  23:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
