Local councillor in London who led the Conservatives on Camden Council. From WP:Notability (people): "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." I'm not convinced that Leyland meets the criteria. (Similar to her fellow Camden Conservative Oliver Cooper, whose article I've also nominated for deletion.)

Keep - the Sunday Times and Evening Standard articles give significant coverage Mujinga (talk) 10:38, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I wrote this page. On the page which you have linked too it says "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" are notable. I set out to write a page for every leader and opposition leader in Camden but I quickly realised that not all of them have received sufficient press coverage. eg the current opposition leader Tom Simon or Giovanni Spinella who was briefly opposition leader between Leyland and Cooper. However Leyland and especially Cooper have received major media coverage including in the national press that goes far beyond the average leader of the opposition on a council this size (almost 300,000 people).

~~Delete~~ - I don’t think the GNG are met. Do we want or need articles for every opposition leader on councils with a large population, even in London? If it was a Camden Wikipedia then the articles would be fine.—TrottieTrue (talk) 15:28, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
User:TrottieTrue, the deletion nomination already counts as an opinion in favour of deletion. I know that deletion discussions are supposedly not votes, but your following it up with a bolded "delete" could lead to double counting, so I would recommend striking that word at the beginning of that statement.

Okay, I thought I had to make it clear which option I was “voting” for, so I’ve modified my comment above.—TrottieTrue (talk) 18:02, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't understand why this article merits two keep entries, when the coverage is tenuous at best. Doesn't meet in WP:NPOL and supposed coverage is missing. I found the Evening Standard which is on the election campaign and fails NPOL. Didn't find the Sunday Times, but is likely to be the same election cycle news and again failing npol. There is no secondary coverage on it, at all, failing WP:SIGCOV. As far as I can see it is a complete sop and non-notable. scope_creep^Talk 08:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - She seems to picked up above average news coverage for a local party leader and parliamentary candidate, not much more but enough so that's it worth keeping the page on balance.—Sam11333 (talk) 08:56, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:NOTNEWS. What little coverage we do have is all routine local news coverage. Per precedence at AFD, we need to see a greater diversity of sources to establish notability for a politician at the municipal level beyond local news coverage.4meter4 (talk) 07:22, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Mujinga - enough coverage to make SIGCOV. Ingratis (talk) 07:25, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
