This previously passed an AfD, Articles for deletion/Katie Dawson, in 2007: it hasn't been edited much since and inclusion standards have tightened since then. Ms Dawson is a local councillor, insufficient notability under WP:NPOL. The citations given are mostly routine local newspaper coverage and do not satisfy WP:GNG.

 * Delete. Wikipedia's standards for the notability of local politicians have been tightened up considerably since 2007 — it's now much more well-established that while members of the citywide London Assembly are accepted as notable, members of London's individual borough councils are not. But there's no other claim of notability for other reasons being shown here, and not nearly enough substantive media coverage to make her a special case on pure WP:GNG grounds — apart from a single article in a national newspaper which glancingly namechecks her existence in the process of being fundamentally about someone else, the other references here are the primary source website of her own political party and a handful of purely routine coverage in the borough's local pennysavers. This is not enough coverage to get a not inherently notable local politician over WP:NPOL #2. Bearcat (talk) 16:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Local politician who doesn't otherwise meet WP:GNG. Marquardtika (talk) 22:39, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
