St Clair Leacock

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

lack of notability, no first name, nothing else is known about him rather than his career in a few elections ≠ notability. Find sources pulls up a grand total of 4 articles L3X1 (distant write)  16:56, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep – significant politician. A quick search of the archives of the national newspaper The Vincentian shows a number of articles that name him in their headline. SVG Hansard shows him to be an active member of parliament (for example, this copy refers to him 47 times). The AfD case put forward by L3X1 is factually incorrect: his first name is St Clair; there are plenty of facts known about him (for example, this source makes it clear that he is a Justice of the Peace, a main contributor to the development of the St. Vincent Coast Guard Service, President of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Football Association and Commandant of the Cadet Force and Auxiliary Police Force); and as for the "grand total of 4 articles", I find that an internet search gives many documents, some current news items, and interviews and public speeches on YouTube, including a speech featured on national television news. It seems to me that he satisfies the WP:GNG ("If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.") and that this AfD should be rejected. No doubt the article needs expanding and a few more references adding – this is no surprise for a new article – but in my view there are insufficient grounds for deletion. — Hebrides (talk) 07:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - the topic meets WP:NPOL. He has been elected as a Member of Parliament twice. Apart from that, has demonstrared that the topic also passes WP:GNG. — Yashtalk stalk 15:21, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
