Lacks notability.

I do not believe that Ajax's mayoralty is significant enough to automatically award its holder sufficient notability, nor that Collier has otherwise garnered sufficient notability.

 * Keep He has a lot of articles covering his work as mayor including sustained controversies and actions taken during COVID. Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 10:41, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ajax is a large enough city (over 100K) to qualify its mayor as notable. Lots of independent reliable sources referenced in the article. And even if that's not enough to deem notability, his controversies have made national news; the sources in this article are not just local. -- Earl Andrew - talk 14:03, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Earl Andrew Population alone does not make a city of that size politically notable enough to afford their mayor instant notability by virtue of their office. SecretName101 (talk) 17:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * In that case, judge the article by its sources, of which there are plenty, are reliable sources, significant, and many in national scope.-- Earl Andrew - talk 17:22, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Reliability of sources does not transfer notability. reliable sources publish stories every day that cover subjects that don’t meet notability standards. You have to parse the substance of WHAT the stories/coverage assert about the subject and whether that distinguishes them as having notability. I am pretty unconvinced that the stories cited in this article do that. SecretName101 (talk) 18:28, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep I don't think such mayor's are automatically notable - but he was getting national mentions two decades ago when he was elected to council. More significantly is the recent national coverage related to his opposition to Doug Ford's misuse of Minister's Zoning Orders. I'm surprised this was nominated given the nationally-covered controversy over the Duffins Creek wetland. Nfitz (talk) 23:00, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
