Unsourced BLP of a person of marginal notability, either sources should be added or it should be deleted. RMHED (talk) 22:32, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep' though I could understand an argument that one term on the winnipeg city council might not be notable. However, there is apparently actually a reliable source, going half way to show notability under the GNG, though it is only alluded to rather than specified fully in the article. Careless nomination at best--source should have been fixed . . DGG (talk) 23:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG So much better to have sought sources than bring this here. The effort expended here would have been better placed on improvement.  Dloh  cierekim  00:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are sources for this article, even if they haven't been added yet.  CJCurrie (talk) 03:42, 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.--UpDown (talk) 08:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * <> No, Updown, that's not what I'm saying. You are correct in saying being a local council member is not inherently notable. For instance, those of a small city like Largo, Florida are not. Those of Pinellas's largest city, St. Petersburg, are probably not. However, 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  14:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say that Winipeg is a large enough city, or important enough worldwide, to pass the criteria. Cities like New York, London, Paris, maybe - Winnipeg no.--UpDown (talk) 07:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you quantify major? It is, after all, one of the 10 largest cities in Canada, and is an especially important cultural hub and has a population of well over 500,000.  Celarnor Talk to me  15:37, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per DGG, as councilman of larger city.  P HARMBOY  (moo) (plop) 17:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Seems like the article can be easily improved.  Keep per the notability inherited as councilman of a major city per BIO.  Celarnor Talk to me  15:35, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
