Fails WP:BIO. Worthy local politician who received a minor honor in recognition of his efforts. However, I am not seeing the combination of having an MBE with being the leader of second tier council as being enough to establish notability. There is some relevant discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people). Delete. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - having an MBE and being the leader of a second tier council are not enough to establish notability. That doesn't mean Peters isn't notable, though.  Has he been the subject of coverage in the local media?  This ought to be assessed before we decide to delete the article. john k (talk) 04:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Probable delete. This district council mentioned seems to be some sort of (bygone) Parish Council, which really doesn't qualify. Added to the fact that this reads far too much like an obituary, I can't see a case for keeping this unless someone thinks it can be salvaged. If a page for the district council is created, he could of course be mentioned in that and a redirect created from this page. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:19, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The MBE is certainly not a high enough honour to qualify someone for inclusion automatically (my general policy as a writer of many biographies of British honours recipients is that at least a CBE is required for that) and the leader of a district council is also not a senior enough position for notability (especially since this actaully seems to be a pre-1974 Rural District, which were considerably smaller than post-1974 districts). -- Necrothesp (talk) 17:23, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO. Nothing on any of the Gsearches, article is currently completely unsourced. Even if confirmable, MBE is insufficient for notability (100k+ living recipients). Ray  Talk 14:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO as above. Eusebeus (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
