I see that this article lacks information on the notability of its subject. I confess that after reading through the notability guidelines, I remain unclear on what makes a politician notable. If Mike Nickel isn't notable, I certainly won't contest the article's deletion; however, it seems to me that most of the other Edmonton city Councilors who've been given pages would also fail to meet the criteria (the exceptions, as I understand it, being Councilors Gibbons, Sloan, and Liebovici, all of whom also served as members of Alberta's legisalture).

Basically, I'd like some clarification of how one determines the notability of local politicians and, if Mike Nickel is notable, what information I should include in the article to make this clear.Sarcasticidealist 10:19, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
