Tom Crone (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be an individual who is simply a local councillor who ran for a regional mayoralty and failed to retain their deposit in that election. The articles in the page are not articles which confer individual notability on to the subject. The subject is incidental to those articles. As such the subject fails the notability criteria for political office for inclusion on Wikipedia and does not meet the general notability coverage for inclusion as they sources are mainly incidental or are primary sources Sport and politics (talk) 09:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. While Liverpool is certainly a large enough city that a councillor would be deemed to pass WP:NPOL #2 if he could be sourced as passing the "who have received significant press coverage" part of the equation, the sourcing here isn't showing that at all. The article is based mostly on primary sources rather than reliable ones, and of the two sources that do represent media coverage, one just namechecks his existence in an article whose core subject is the party rather than him, and the one that is substantively about him is only just barely long enough to escape being dismissed as a blurb. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, but this is not the depth or volume of sourcing that it takes to make a city councillor notable for being a city councillor.
