Article which makes no substantive claim that its subject passes WP:POLITICIAN — the only claims of notability here are a city council seat, in a city not large enough to confer notability on its councillors, and unsuccessful candidacies for higher office.

 * Delete page creator back in '07. It was repeatedly recreated as a copyright violation from the campaign website (if I remember correctly), I have no objections. So I guess per Bearcat, and lack of coverage outside routine coverage from Kingston news. --kelapstick(bainuu) 22:25, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * In fact if this diff shows no other significant authors you could delete it under  WP:CSD. --kelapstick(bainuu) 23:15, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think so in this case — there's too much back-and-forthing in the edit history over the includability or non-includability of the conflict of interest allegation. Even if the end result is that the article is substantively identical in its current form to what you originally wrote, the edit history over time is too complex for me to feel comfortable stating that there's only been one substantive author.
