delete - disputed prod, but nothing notable. -Steve Sanbeg 22:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

don't delete - Notbale as he was listed in the Irish Who's Who, (was formerly an adviser to Fine Gael in Ireland (main opposition party) and has achieved in Scotland the biggest swing from the Governing party in living memory. I think this entry needs to take these into account and be amended ratehr than deleted. -Leaghton 11:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete I'm not too clear on UK government structure. Scotland is a nation, so Fife is a first level sub-national unit. It is the logical, but by no means real, equivalent to a U.S. state. It is the real, but not logical, equivalent to a U.S. county. I think the real comparison is more meaningful, especially given the size of the electorate. I therefore consider deletion appropriate, as there is no evidence that he meets the lots of press coverage test. GRBerry 03:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• Don't delete - He's important to the people he represents. Its a clean, well written article. --Alpharigel 17:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
