[edit] Jean-Paul Floru

Disputed prod. Autobiography. I think he falls just below our notability threshold. -- RHaworth 12:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• There are plenty of entries in the Wikipedia which have been accepted and which are very similar in nature. If anything should be deleted it is RHaworth's entry.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jpfloru (talk • contribs).

• • Don't think RHaworth has an entry - only a user page, which is something quite different. The Golux 14:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Political activity sounds notable. Elected local councillor as well: someone went round creating stub pages on all the councillors in Manchester, or was it Liverpool, and they haven't been deleted. But no autobiography please, tag for cleanup and verification. The Golux 14:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable. Elected as councillor in a small borough of London. Also, no personal attacks, Golux. --Nishkid64 19:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't see where I made any! The Golux 17:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Totally sorry about that. Apology made on your user page, Golux. --Nishkid64 20:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. ColinFine 23:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with the nominator's arguments. Recently (May 4, 06) elected to WCC, not an insignificant London borough. I'd definitely vote keep if he was WCC leader, but don't think he has really made his mark yet. 60 unique/248 Ghits, most of which are his own sites, or westminster conservatives, Freedom alliance sites, or blog entries Ohconfucius 04:26, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note Also nominated for deletion is Freedom Week, which was created by the same editor. Stubbleboy 01:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - no independent reviews. More like an ad for his seminars. Bridgeplayer 21:42, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• I obviously know Jean-Paul Floru, because he and I are both Westminster City Councillors, and in fact he is my local councillor since I live in Hyde Park Ward (though I don't think I'm breaking any news to announce that I did not favour him with my vote in May). The article is clearly autobiographical and needs checking. As far as notability of councillors goes, AfD decisions have been inconsistent. Individual councillors have been deleted, but a mass nomination of useless substubs on Manchester City Councillors (which was my idea) resulted in a keep. Here we have a subject whose notability is not just from being a councillor but also from political and artistic activity. I would myself err on the side of keep. I would also say that Westminster is a small borough, but it tends to be a lot more notable than similar sized boroughs because it covers central London: Westminster councillors are probably more likely to be notable than those from rural districts.
