Sarah Brown (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have nominated this article for deletion. The subject is not notable. It is not common for local councillors to have their own article. Brown's only 'claim to fame' is being included on a 'Pink List', which is not a sufficient achievement (many others on the same list do not have articles). 86.158.182.11 (talk) 21:35, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - Between what's cited and a cursory gsearch I'm seeing sufficient/significant coverage to satisfy WP:BIO. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 00:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 * keep being a councillor isn't notability, but Sarah Brown does have a national profile for her work in gender issues. I'm on the other side of the country and I know of her. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:27, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep – She's clearly notable, especially as she was, for three years, the only out trans person who was an elected representative. Regardless of that, I believe that the activism she did regarding the same-sex marriage bill – including her MP mentioning her situation on the floor of the Commons – also shows notability.
