Deletion of Paul Smith (politician)

Comment: he actually meets  since he is a former city council member of Bristol City Council, and  states that; "Generally speaking ... members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city are likely to meet this criterion." Although he's a former member, he is still notable since |notability is not temporary. Kindest regards

Comment: fails  to give the full quote that Spitfire omitted to give above: "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.7 Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city." Smith hasn't received any significant press coverage. Not only that but the only refs in the article are websites from his own party in other words there are no reliable secondary sources at all, let alone the type of coverage that would qualify him for an article
