It is not promotional is I would not mention losing four elections. My plan is too add all Daventry elected officials but started by doing myself. :) Alan.knape (talk) 15:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Alan.knape: before doing so, please read WP:NPOL. It is unlikely that any Daventry councillors meet the notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 16:43, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

there is already one or two on there but if against policy then happy for it to be removed. Alan.knape (talk) 16:46, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's not an actual rule in Wikipedia, but if someone created a Wikipedia article for themself, or have others do it in their favor, then they're probably not notable enough to have an article.

In all seriousness, the current article relies exclusively on trivial mentions or non-independent sources, which fails WP:GNG And WP:NBIO. There doesn't seem to be much significant coverage of the individual as well.

I wish Alan.knape a successful political career. Who knows, maybe someday he will be famous enough to pass the notability guideline. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 23:26, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Clearly fails WP:NPOL. Not enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 18:12, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
