[edit] Darren Hayday

Darren Hayday (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Minor local politician that fails notability criteria. He used to be the mayor of a town in Bucks. Previous afd nomination was closed early, after the individual in question (who appears to have created an article about himself) asked for the information to be userfied. It was then recreated, and the lengthy discussion on the talk page seems to have agreed that this was a borderline case, based on him possibly becoming more notable in the future. That does not appear to have happened. Delete Roleplayer 23:08, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Absolutely nothing to distinguish him from ten thousand other local councillors; Mayor of High Wycombe is not equivalent to Mayor of New York City. And Delete for his brother in advance also, should the author be working on an article on him. (I would love to see more Tory councillors at metal gigs, though!) — iridescent (talk to me!) 01:17, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Vanity page for non-notable local politician. OfficeGirl 03:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Was the mayor of a fairly sizeable city/town/urban area (118,229) and there are numerous and numerous articles of mayors of towns of similar size and even much lower.--JForget 00:44, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

  Comment Mayor is a mainly ceremonial post in many towns up and down the UK including this one. The holder of the title has no extra powers or scope for decision making than any other councillor and in most of the other articles I would expect the individual to be notable in other ways than just being the mayor. -- Roleplayer 08:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
