Charles Glover[edit]
Non-notable politician. Was only elected last week, local councillors only represent a few thousand people. Tangotango 17:18, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, no indication of press coverage for this politician, also seems to attract slanders. Sandstein 20:30, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Retain - all the other councillors in Manchester are included, why delete this one? It seems to be that Councillor Glover is being victimised by acrimonious opponents. There has already been a debate on Wikipedia about Manchester councillors. There are no grounds for deletion .. Rhyddfrydol 10:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, yes, the grounds are in WP:BIO: it says we keep only "major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage. Just being an elected local official does not guarantee notability." If you think the other councillors don't meet this standard, you're free to nominate them for deletion also.

- Nobrainer Delete. The subject is not even on the scale. Search of Google news archive reveals the following:
- "Charles glover" + gorton = 5 hits, none relevant
- "Charles glover" + oldham = 5 hits, none relevant
- "Charles glover" + manchester = 19 hits, none relevant. For most politicians, there is at least something. Not a dicky bird here. I rest my case. Ohconfucius 02:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Retain Why delete this one when you haven't deleted all the other Manchester Councillors and you have allowed articles from much more non-notable politicians such as Alex Hilton and Kerron Cross. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.88.176.178 (talk • contribs) 08:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Retain Is much more notable than other politicians on Wikipedia that have not been proposed for deletion. Charles Glover is pretty high profile considering he knocked out the leader of Oldham Labour Group and was the candidate in one of the most fiercely fought by elections Manchester has ever seen. — Possible single purpose account: Thepoliticaloverlord (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.
