Notability as football player and entrepreneur doesn't satisfy GNG. Current office as a Westmount City Councillor isn't important enough to meet MOS:CA. Also - this article has been created (and deleted) twice before by Theswissarmy, whose editing history seems extremely focussed on Cutler, his company, and his alma mater. Salt?

 * Delete with WP:SALT. Wikipedia is not a free LinkedIn clone on which every person is entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because they exist — and it's worth noting that the first time Theswissarmy tried to create the article, Cutler's time as a student representative on the organizational senate of his alma mater was actually the height of his notability. Nothing here passes any of Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, and none of the sourcing gets him past WP:GNG in lieu. And no, we don't routinely accept city councillors as notable per WP:NPOL, either. We do in Montreal but not in Montreal's smaller suburbs, because the inclusion criterion for city councillors is not "holds office as a city councillor", but "holds office as a city councillor in a major metropolitan global city" — which Montreal is, but Westmount is not.

 * Student newspapers cannot be used to show wikinotability, so the McGill Daily is a non-starter. WordPress blogs cannot be used to show wikinotability, so nearly all of the rest of those are non-starters. Interviews where the subject is speaking about himself cannot be used to show wikinotability, so the Global News video link is a non-starter. The only one that's a starter is "Westmount to upgrade parking meters", but that's (a) not about Philip Cutler, but merely namechecking his existence as a bit player in the issue that is the subject of the article, and (b) not a notability claim even if it were about him — so it's a starter, but not a finisher all by itself. So, nope, you just batted zero for seven. Bearcat (talk) 21:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Strong Delete - and salt as per nomination. There's nothing on the article establishing the subject's notability, he's just counsillor in a minor city. Wikipedia should not be used as self-promotion. RetiredDuke  18:31, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
