Deletion of Stephen Canning (3rd nomination)

Comment: Local government districts are not a level of political office that guarantees an article under . Of the ten footnotes here, five are purely local coverage of the time that's simply expected to routinely exist for all local councillors whether they clear our notability standards or not, and thus are not GNG-bringers; two just glancingly namecheck his existence in the process of ''not'' being ''about'' him, which does not help to make him notable; one is just a brief blurb verifying his initial election to council; and one is a piece written ''by'' him rather than ''about'' him. There's just one footnote here that's actually both substantively about him and from national media, and even that one is not about him doing anything significant enough to make him notable on those grounds per se. GNG, as always, is not just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who surpasses an arbitrary number" — it tests the sources for their depth, their geographic range and the ''context'' of what they're covering the person ''for'', not just whether n>2 or not
