Non notable local councillor. The article suggests 2 claims to fame. First councillor for UKIP on Bristol City and parliamentary election candidate. In the first case, simply being a local councillor does not establish notability and there are now about 500 UKIP councillors in the UK, which has over 400 local councils, so UKIP winning seats on them rarely attracts the significant news coverage which would satisfy point 3 of WP:POLITICIAN. The only coverage is local news coverage almost all of it in passing, failing WP:BIO. Similarly, being a parliamentary election candidate is not notable in itself and in this case the person finished a distant third with 9% of the vote.
