Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martin Hill (councillor)
Please allow to me to expand a bit on the rationale for deletion.  says ''"Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".''  I'm not quoting rules, but rather trying to stick to what seems to me the spirit of the guidelines. County councillor articles are very thin on the ground on Wikipedia. That's certainly not proof of non-notability, but it's a clue. There isn't even an article on Lincolnshire County Council yet: it redirects to Lincolnshire#Politics, which is rather short. As elected leader of the county council he certainly merits a referenced mention in Lincolnshire, but notability sufficient for a separate article does not seem to me to have been established here merely by virtue of being elected. Press coverage, as mentioned above, is limited to fleeting mentions, rather than significant coverage. If there is offline coverage of him, then let's by all means userfy this article and take the time to add evidence of notability. But if we include every article on every elected English politician, then where is the boundary of notability?  Should we include elected district councillors and elected parish councillors as well
— NONE, NONE
