Gregory Howes

 * – ( View AfD View log )

We have a real, live politician here. The concern that I see, though, is that he is only a Selectman - which, from what I can tell, is the northeast US equivalent of a city council member. Noting WP:POLITICIAN, this, alone, does not make him notable, nor does the fact that he's running for a third term. --  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 00:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

While Gregory Howes is only a Selectman, the equivalent of a New England City Councilmember, as the article states, he is not seeking a 3rd term, but rather running for the General Court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. -User:Ejd10

 * Delete Subject fails WP:POLITICIAN --Hirolovesswords (talk) 00:31, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: Dennis, a selectman here is a councilor of a town, not a city; it's not remotely close to notable. Howes would meet WP:POLITICIAN if he won the seat, but he hasn't even won the party primary for the seat.  Fails WP:POLITICIAN, also fails WP:GNG for lack of non-primary sources.
