Errol Black[edit]

Black was a city councillor in Brandon, Manitoba. With only 49,000 residents, it's not big enough for councillors to automatically merit their own articles (as per WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES).

Black was also an academic, but I don't believe he meets the criteria for notability set out at WP:PROF. Madg2011 (talk) 17:31, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Passes neither WP:Prof or politician. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. The potential for notability here depends on WP:PROF for his work as a professor, not on WP:NPOL for being a city councillor in a small city, but the academic work is sitting on primary sources — the reliable sources are supporting the city council, his non-winning federal candidacy and a summary of general political views that we don't care about for a politician who hasn't held a notable office. As well, by and large those sources aren't about him in the manner necessary to clear WP:GNG, but merely namecheck his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article whose subject is something or someone else (and/or where he's the author of the content.) None of this is enough to deem him more notable than the norm for city councillors, and none of it supports notability as an academic at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
