Local politician (city mayor). No indication that he meets the criteria of WP:BIO for politicians (national office or significant national coverage). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I think that counts as "significant press coverage" for WP:POLITICIAN, and, indeed, that guideline states that "mayors are likely to meet [it]".  That's notwithstanding the fact he's the first elected mayor for the English Democrats, one of the minor far-right parties that are expected to do well in the coming years.

 * Keep per above, as well as the fact that directly-elected mayors have far more power than the average MP. I'm not sure I'd count the English Democrats as a far-right party myself, but that's beside the point. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 14:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as directly elected mayor of large town. MikeHobday (talk) 15:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - as WP:POLITICIAN states, mayors are likely to be notable (in the UK, I'd generally limit this to directly elected mayors). Note that we have articles on all directly elected mayors in the UK.  Has also attracted significant press coverage from national and regional media. Warofdreams talk 16:38, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - the result was highly significant and he was the candidate that achieved it. Since the previous mayor also has a page, I see no reason why Peter Davies is less deserving of a page! Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 18:25, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:POLITICIAN satisfied so keep per above. Keresaspa (talk) 20:05, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Plenty of sources/refs, WP:SNOW is coming to mind! Paste  Let’s have a chat. 20:27, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
