Christopher Garnett (politician)
While I'm sure he's an awesome guy, there aren't enough reliable sources to write about him with a neutral point of view. He also doesn't seem to meet the guidelines of WP:BIO. Captainktainer * Talk 03:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom Bwithh 03:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment That's exactly how I found it. That reminds me, I need to notify the author. Captainktainer * Talk 03:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It's good to know I'm not the only one who uses the random button so much. Erechtheus 05:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's a former mayor of a cityof about 100,000 people. The article at http://www.thisiscolchester.co.uk/essex/local_interest/towns__villages/colchester/formermayor.html seeks like a reliable source. I have added it, and some other references, to the article. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 07:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, local politician. He was only a ceremonial mayor with no executive powers. In England every councillor has an opportunity to be this as they change every year. It confers no extra notability. Martín (saying/doing) 07:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, non-notable politician. -- Big  top  18:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Mayors are notable to me. Attic Owl 15:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems appropriate to keep this article, specifically for references beyond being Mayor of Colchester. Davidbober 21:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, fails WP:BIO, non-notable ceremonial mayor. Mayors are not inherantly notable anyway; Michael Bloomberg or Ken Livingstone-yes, 99.9% of the people who hold the title Mayor- no. -- Wine Guy  Talk  00:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
