WP:POLITICIAN only confers notability to elected politicians who have served at least provicewide, so a ward councillor does not qualify. Nothing here satisfies the WP:GNG. RichardOSmith (talk) 18:45, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer, I had not been aware of that. I looked a little further and also found [|this]: "City councillors and other major municipal officers are not automatically notable, although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas..." I've been involved in a project that, in part, aims to surface additional information about Calgary City Councillors, and would like to be able to continue to add additional information to this, and all the other [|local entries I've worked on]. Thanks for the consideration! Ppival (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:14, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * All of the current councillors are already listed at the parent article Calgary City Council. This sub-article essentially repeats that but also includes additional information about historical election results for this councillor only; it would perhaps make good sense to include all the historical results on the parent article or a single sub-article. The UK parliamentary constituenciy articles have adopted that approach - see, for example, Torbay (UK Parliament constituency). RichardOSmith (talk) 08:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: per nom; fails the GNG, fails WP:POLITICIAN. "Internationally famous metropolitan areas" generally encompasses the Torontos and Montreals of the world, and tends to leave out metro areas like Calgary's, the 68th largest metro area in North America.
