Doesn't meet WP:BIO; only claim to fame is being the youngest councilor in a particular area which I think falls short of meriting an encyclopedia entry. Shell babelfish 13:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment the AfD tag was removed from the page by vandals. I've restored it, but would somebody more familiar with AfDs than myself let me know whether the fact that the tage was missing from the page for four days has any effect on the AfD? Also, I'm going with a Weak keep on this one: if he's truly the youngest municipal councillor in Australian history, I think that clears WP:BIO, although I'd expect more media coverage than is currently cited on the page.
