Contested prod by anon. A local councillor, nothing more nothing less. The article makes no claims as to meeting WP:BIO and there are no obviously available to sources to establish a claim. Nuttah (talk) 17:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete - only a local politician of a medium-sized city and apparently without any substantial news coverage does not meet Notability (people) criteria Cactus Writer 19:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:BIO. Also obvious COI and apparent copyvio from one of two websites ( or ). No substantial WP:RS cited and none found in search. A 3-year council member of a medium-sized city doesn't satisfy WP:POLITICIAN. • Gene93k (talk) 02:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Unsourced bio of minimally notable municipal councillor. It is possible for a councillor of a medium-sized city to satisfy WP:POLITICIAN, since the bottom line there is the quality of the sources rather than the office itself, but this article as written certainly isn't demonstrating that point.

 * Comment - this councillor should be able to meet WP:Politician, based on the fact that he is a councillor in a MAJOR metropolitan area (Metro Vancouver). However, sources need to be presented that establishes his notability ("Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage"). - DigitalC (talk) 11:02, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment -- just to clarify, this person is a city council member for New Westminster -- a medium-sized city of ca. 60,000. He is not a member of the Vancouver City Council in Vancouver -- clearly a major city of ca. 600,000, and as such, whose council members are considered "major local politicians" and all have brief bios on WP. Both cities are within the Vancouver Metropolitan Area. — Cactus Writer |   needles  12:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete not a major city and not otherwise notable. DGG (talk) 15:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
