Klaus Armstrong-Braun[edit]

Non notable local councillor who holds no national or regional elected office and thus fails WP:BIO for politicians. Valenciano (talk) 17:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. "He is the only county councillor ever elected for the Wales Green Party" is a claim to notability. --Eastmain (talk) 17:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. If this claim is true, then it maybe significant to keep the article. Though a quick search by me hasn't easily found evidence to reference this claim. If a soruce can be found back up this claim, then I'd be happy to say keep. Evil Eye (talk) 18:21, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure how being the first person elected for a sub-branch of one of the smaller political parties to a not-that-notable local council meets wp:bio. In any case, given the fact that Plaid Cymru and the Greens sometimes endorsed each others candidates, the unsourced claim is dubious at best. Valenciano (talk) 18:50, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I find 179 hits using the newsuk database, including stories in the national press (Times, Independent, Mirror etc). Definitely a Green councillor. Also this Sunday Mirror article "Last year Armstrong-Braun ended up in a court after battering a construction worker with a fence post because he thought a building site was threatening the lives of great crested newts." An interesting fact that you'd expect to find in an encylopedia. He lost his appeal against his conviction, for using excessive force. No tree-hugger he. I'd say he passes WP:POLITICIAN as Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage. Tassedethe (talk) 09:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
