Local councillor without any substantial coverage in reliable third party sources. The previous debate ended as a no consensus based on concerns over WP:POLOUTCOMES however that page states that "City councillors and other major municipal officers are not automatically notable, although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan areas such as Toronto, Chicago, Tokyo or London." In this case however, Lorber is not part of the main citywide government of London, he is one of 63 in Brent, one of London's 32 boroughs. He also stood for parliament 3 times, but finished a distant third with around 10% of the vote thus failing WP:POLITICIAN. Other coverage consists of brief quotes in the local newspaper on local issues thus failing WP:GNG Valenciano (talk) 15:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete -- The consensus (see WP:POLITICIAN) is that local councillors are NN, unless for other reasons. Nothing in the current biography suggests otherwise in this case.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:50, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. I'm amused that someone thought his membership of the National Trust was significant though... -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
