Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judith Blake

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. Arguments for deletion are made more convincing because both sources utilised include fairly trivial references to Blake, therefore I'm forced to assume she fails "significant press coverage". Dweller (talk) 15:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia:POLITICIAN. Contested prod. Gamaliel (talk) 17:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - non-notable politician - compare to deletion after AfD for Elizabeth Shenton, also current councillor and previous parliamentary candidate, though in high-profile byelection. PamD (talk) 17:11, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:POLITICIAN as former Deputy Leader of Leeds City Council [1] As well as meeting the notability guideline for this subject, the article also satisfies our core policies through the use of reliable sources. Catchpole (talk) 17:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. She doesn't actually pass WP:POLITICIAN, which would require sginificant press coverage, namely "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists". Apart from that, being a former deputy leader of a City Council doesn't confer notability in itself. On that basis, any postholder in a City Council ruling group (and that's a lot of councillors) would be notable. This is the reason why even mayors of provincial UK authorities aren't inherently notable. Black Kite 17:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. As the creator of this article, it was originally put in place to link to and from Leeds North West. However, on review of the notability guidelines, the bio should be in a list of Labour party candidates, per WP:AFDP. I don't think such a page is yet in existence though.

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Even ordinary members of major city councils have been held notable, at least for those in the US. At 750,000 population, Leeds is probably sufficiently large for the purpose, though we have no agreed cut off, many of the ones kept have been considerably smaller.
