Unreferenced BLP tagged since July 2010. Unremarkable person - leader of local council which is just one of 32 similar councils in London and one of hundreds across the UK. No national achievements, nor any achievements outside the borough she represents. I believe she fails the general notability guidelines and therefore propose this article be deleted.

 * Comment. I won't express a !vote here, because I've previously dealt with her when I was involved in NUS. I do however, want to make a few points. Firstly, although WP:POLITICIAN does not give automatic notability to council leaders, I believe they are the senior most elected politicians who don't automatically qualify for notability. She was frequently quoted in the national papers when the was the NUS Welfare Officer (as the position was called back in my day), although so were all the NUS full-time officers. She has also got a lot of attention as the leader of Haringey Council in the aftermath of Baby P. I won't takes sides because of a conflict of interest, but she's got a better claim than most council leaders. Only warning I will give to any SPAs with a vested interest in this page it that if she cocks up as council leader, the third-party coverage won't be nice.

 * At most, weak keep -- I doubt that we need articles on council leaders, except possibly the greatest city councils, but I do not feel strongly enough about this to vote for delete. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Weak keep per Peterkingiron. Council members of large cities such as London are sometimes kept. Bearian (talk) 16:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep; I think she passes WP:BASIC, but only just. I added 3 refs; the article needs more. bobrayner (talk) 01:09, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
