Yet another election candidation/local councillor Timrollpickering 13:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete - as nomination, although worth mentioning that she has a national position as Chair of the Equalities Executive in the Local Government Association. Martín (saying/doing) 13:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete not notable enough to warrant an article --RMHED 15:31, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

*Delete District councillor who continues as LD candidate in a no-hoper labour stronghold. not notable WP:BIO

• revised vote to keep. According to the LD website, she's 31, and had received an MBE from HM QEII. I believe that would make her notable enough for inclusion. Her bio has been updated accordingly Ohconfucius 06:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Retain: A Borough Cllr who also has other claims to status and whose article has been in existence for an extended period. WP is not about deleting content (which costs nothing to retain) but about creating content. If deleted the article would certainly need re-creating for a future election (whether she stands in the same seat or elsewhere) and given that we have Category:Councillors in Greater London - which she is included in - then I believe sufficient notability is still there. --Vamp:Willow 12:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I created that category as I think that being a councillor is an interesting fact worth categorising. And of course it is now Wikipedians to do with it as you wish. But I certainly wouldn't want to see every councillor there, just as Category:British lawyers isn't an invitation to claim notability for being a lawyer. Even if she stands in another election, and I'm sure she will, that doesn't of itself confer notability either - it's if she wins, in my opinion. Martín (saying/doing) 21:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

* Delete, probably not notable enough, at this time. --TheM62Manchester 12:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC) Keep - change vote since new evidence came to light. --TheM62Manchester 08:34, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Retain: Perfectly notable for reasons given above. Saintjohnny
