Article about a non-notable local councillor which does not assert any other notability than the fact that he is chairman of a small rural council with 57000 people. Huggett fails all notability criteria in WP:POLITICIAN He hasn't held international, national or sub-national office nor is he a major local figure under the criterion which says: "mayors of cities of at least regional importance are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Fermanagh is certainly not any of those. Routine news coverage covering his work as chairman will therefore not be sufficient for establishing notability.

 * Keep I think being a Chairman of a nationally notable council makes him satisfy WP:POLITICIAN, especially point number 1. "Politicians who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature and judges."

 * It most certainly does not satisfy that criteria. An international office in this case would be the European Parliament for example. National means the Parliament of the United Kingdom or Parliament of Ireland. The relevant sub-national entity is the Northern Ireland Assembly. SeeList_of_subnational_entities. Huggett doesn't belong to any of those so fails the notability criteria for his profession. Valenciano (talk) 15:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Head of a district of 57,000 people, no significant coverage passing WP:GNG. Ray  Talk 16:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete His position does not make him automatically notable, so sourcing is required - and none could be found. Google searching mostly finds a mathematician of the same name, who appears to be far more notable than this councillor. --MelanieN (talk) 14:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
