The result was   keep. Consensus is that sourcing exists to add to the article (as opposed to being unverifiable). Consensus is also that this position establishes notability. StarM 04:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Unsourced BLP of a person of marginal notability, either sources should be added or it should be deleted. RMHED (talk) 22:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep we can verify he was a councilman for a major city. that's enough to keep.  Dloh  cierekim  01:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * This isn't about verifiability but primarilly about the fact that it is an unsourced BLP. Surely no BLP without adequate sourcing should be allowed to remain that way. Anybody reading this BLP would have to take the time to do several Google searches to confirm if its content was correct or not. Now that can't be acceptable, can it? RMHED (talk) 02:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And since the subject is clearly notable, the best option is to source it. If it were negative BLP, it would demand immediate removal under BLP. There is nothing injurious to the subject here. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  03:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * < >BIO says, "Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Winnepeg is Manitoba's largest city and provincial capital. It's one of Canada's ten largest cities and has a population of greater than 500,000. The city council members of such a city surely qualify. Cheers,  Dloh  cierekim  23:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are sufficient sources to verify the subject's notability (even if they haven't been added to the article yet).  CJCurrie (talk) 03:43, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the world is full of thousands of local councillors, and they are not notable for being one. I could produce references for my local councillors, with lots of local press attention and so on - but are they notable outside their area. No. Members of the Winipeg City Council are not notable. National politicians are "clearly notable", local politicians are not.--UpDown (talk) 08:38, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as councilman to a major city is notable.  P HARMBOY  (moo) (plop) 17:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with Pharmboy --Bucephalus (talk) 13:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. To me at least, position of councilman in a major city confers notability; a quick search reveals plenty of material that can be used to source it; this article can be improved by the regular editing process, so it isn't a good candidate for deletion.
