Falls well short of the requirements set out at WP:POLITICIAN Nuttah (talk) 08:33, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - With greatest respect to Mr Smith, this article fails WP:POLITICIAN #3 as "an elected local official". In the alternative, the article fails the general notability guidlines - there is no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of this article.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:15, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He's the leader of the opposition on a council, which is a better claim than any old councillor, but I can't find any coverage beyond soundbites on behalf of his party. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 16:55, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
