Bob Sanders (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced bio of a minor politician. Declined for speedy A7. I am unable to find sufficient reliable sources to pass WP:ANYBIO. - MrX 00:37, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as nothing at all to suggest solidity for applicable notability. I would've nominated it myself as I nearly reviewed it myself. SwisterTwister   talk  00:39, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete the subject appears to fail the notability criteria at WP:BASIC and WP:POLITICIAN. VQuakr (talk) 01:01, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not satisfy WP:POLITICIAN, and I cannot find any evidence that he clears WP:GNG. Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:26, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Although the old Metro Toronto council is a level of government that can get a person over WP:NPOL #3 if the volume and quality of sourcing is there to support an article, it is not a level of government that confers an automatic presumption of notability on every individual councillor — realistically, the only surefire shot over WP:GNG for a Metro Councillor, if they didn't previously, subsequently or concurrently hold a more NPOL-worthy role than Metro Council alone, is to have been an executive councillor. (And I'm saying this as a Torontonian who has tried to GNG these people.) But no sourcing has been shown here whatosever, and on a ProQuest search I'm finding glancing namechecks of his existence (typical: "Bob Sanders, Metro councillor for Scarborough-Malvern, said it would be nice if one office was set aside at the civic centre for Metro members.") rather than substantive coverage about him. In addition, with the article having been created by a user named "Rjsand66", I'm guessing this is WP:COI by his son or daughter. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
