I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this article about a politician and writer, and added some references, but I don't think there is substantial coverage or that he meets WP:NPOLITICIAN. His elected roles have been as a district councillor, a county councillor, member of a regional assembly and on the European Committee of the Regions. Coverage is at the mention level and I don't think it meets WP:GNG. His biography of his sister, Victoria Wood, received coverage but this looks like WP:BLP1E without lasting significant coverage. Article has been tagged with Notability since 2021. There was a previous deletion discussion in 2012, with several !votes of "weak keep" and an outcome of no consensus.

 * Delete. He hasn't held any role that would be "inherently" notable under WP:NPOL, but has not been shown as the subject of nearly enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG in lieu. Bearcat (talk) 21:09, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Having done quite a bit of work on this page recently, it would be a shame personally to see it deleted, given the number of citations added to a previously largely unreferenced section. That said, the citations don't necessarily confer notability, although we do have some pages for perennially unsuccessful candidates for office. So I'm on the fence with this one.

 * Keep - marginal case but he seems to be something of a local celebrity, there are quite a lot of results when searching for the subject. - Indefensible (talk) 16:12, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete failed candidate and notability seems inherited from his sibling after source review. SportingFlyer  T · C  14:40, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
