 * Keep. City councillor in a major Canadian city. -- Earl Andrew - talk 02:30, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The notability cutoff for city councillors generally requires the city to be considerably larger than Regina is; even Hamilton, about four times the size of Regina, is still stretching it. And WP:BLP doesn't permit articles to stay around when they're this poorly sourced, either. Bearcat (talk) 02:58, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed - this isn't just a matter of saying keep, because i like it. You need to justify how the subject meets the criteria set out in WP:POLITICIAN. Jezhotwells (talk) 07:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per Bearcat and Jezhotewells. Regina is really not large enough for automatic notability to confer on its city councillors, and press coverage seems to be trivial in the context of city politics. Ray  Talk 23:19, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete His current position does not make him notable, and coverage about his current campaign for higher office is minimal. --MelanieN (talk) 03:52, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
