Fails WP:NPOL as only an elected councillor. Citations overly rely on WP:PRIMARY. Bondegezou (talk) 11:49, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep A borough council leader who had an MBE for services to local government and appeared in the Telegraph's right-wing politician list, both something a local councillor of his level can only dream of. ミラP 17:40, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The MBE is the lowest ranked award and has never, as far as I know, been taken as proving automatic notability. The Telegraph pieces is one paragraph, so I question whether it meets WP:GNG's "significant coverage", but if we accept that, show us the other two pieces to qualify under WP:GNG.

 * It's a mixed bag but leans keep. 52-17-48 as of today. ミラP 22:59, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * In other words, an MBE does not impart automatic notability. Bondegezou (talk) 23:41, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, those numbers are misleading. The vast majority of people with MBEs never even get articles created for them. Having an MBE is not an automatic path to Wikipedia article: only a tiny minority of those with MBEs have Wikipedia articles. Bondegezou (talk) 14:29, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I made a huge mistake overestimating how much get MBEs. Switching to Delete. ミラP 17:01, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
