Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person notable only as a municipal councillor. Halifax NS is not a city where the municipal council are all deemed "inherently" notable just for existing, so the ticket to notability here would be to show some evidence of nationalized significance. But six of the eight footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability (press releases from directly affiliated organizations, the convocation program of his own alma mater, multiple repetitions of his own self-published LinkedIn résumé) — and of the just two sources that are real media, one just glancingly mentions his name in the process of not being about him, and the other just offers technical verification of his election to the municipal council seat. This is not in any sense enough coverage to deem him notable just for being a municipal councillor. Bearcat (talk) 02:39, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
