 * Delete. Although I'm not familiar with British local government positions, I have performed an advanced Google search to find results from the United Kingdom using the words "Mohammed Rahman" Corby. I realized that Mohammed Rahman appears many times, but as passing mentions, with maybe two exceptions including this article from the website of Brooke Weston Academy concerning a curry boot camp, which is not notable. The only other article with significant coverage that I could find was this one, but still, my limited research indicates that the position of "Councillor" and "Mayor" in this context is basically ceremonial. Outside of Corby, Mr. Rahman seems to be unknown, and according to the first reference in the article, he became councillor thanks to 810 votes, which I believe is far from impressive. I don't see how this person meets either WP:GNG or WP:BASIC criteria. Dontreader (talk) 21:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a local councillor. British non-executive mayors are not notable, as they are annually elected, largely ceremonial positions in which every long-serving councillor will get his turn eventually. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
