Insufficient non-PR sources to support notability. In my opinion, unwisely accepted from AfC  DGG ( talk ) 03:26, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Aside from passing mention sources, the main reference here is the Profile Halifax article, which may not be a full WP:RS and is effectively an up-and-coming profile. Political advisers and staff are by definition in the back room so get less attention, but I am not finding anything which could confirm attained notability. AllyD (talk) 05:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Article relies mainly on sources which mention his name in passing but fail to be about him in a meaningful enough way to even get him past WP:GNG, let alone WP:POLITICIAN — and the only one which is specifically about him ("Profile Halifax") does not count as a reliable source at all. Given that this article was its creator's only contribution to Wikipedia to date, further, I suspect but cannot categorically prove conflict of interest editing by a personal friend or colleague of Mr. Bowie's. No prejudice against recreation in the future if a better version can be written and sourced, but this version is not cutting it. Bearcat (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * All hail Google; conflict of interest proven. I've located a Nova Scotia government staff directory which confirms that while Mr. Bowie was working in Jamie Baillie's office, he had a colleague whose work e-mail address exactly matches the creator's username.
