 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Retired television and radio reporter who has subsequently gone into local politics at a very low level. Does not meet WP:NPOL at this level (no "significant press coverage", just routine local arguing). WP:BEFORE also does not reveal any significant coverage for his television or radio activities beyond routine coverage of him existing and passing mentions in articles about other things.

 * Delete. Politicians at the town and county council levels do not automatically pass WP:NPOL just for serving at that level — the only level of local office in England that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article to all holders across the board is the narrow tier of directly-elected big city mayors, while the test most local officeholders have to pass is that their careers in politics have generated a hell of a lot more press coverage than has been shown here. Meanwhile, his prior career in journalism is staked solely on the presence of a staff profile on the self-published website of his own former employer, which means he hasn't been shown to pass inclusion criteria for journalists either.

 * Delete This article has been around a long long time, but I would have voted !delete on its previous problematic pre-political incarnation as well for failing GNG. Standing as a local councillor does not bootstrap it unfortunately. SportingFlyer  T · C  13:19, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
