The result was delete. The argument that notability is permanent is reasonable, but generally local council members have not met the notability bar, and "unsourced" is a serious matter for BLPs, even though this article is not written in any particularly negative style. The last AFD was a "no consensus", renomination two years later was therefore reasonable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nels Roseland

Roseland is no longer serving on Cary's Town Council. There was no consensus on the first nomination, but since he's no longer a politician, it seems he now doesn't mean notability criteria. APK ^{yada yada} 08:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Being a town council member isn't really in the same league as a world renown scientist or musician, but I get where you're coming from. APK ^{yada yada} 13:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
