Keep - Olad is a former Chairman of the Somali Youth Development Resource Centre. He is also the first Somali Councillor for Camden. Neither is commonplace or typical of all said persons. Middayexpress ( talk) 19:19, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep - I can't see how this individual is not notable. AcidSnow ( talk) 19:30, 29 July 2014 (UTC) reply

• Delete Ward Councillor in London is not a sub-national legislature by conventional definition and thus the subject does not pass WP:POLITICIAN. Also the Somali Youth Development Resource Centre seems non-notable, small obscure organisation, 407 likes on facebook etc. Flaming Ferrari ( talk) 14:27, 3 August 2014 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Fails WP Politician, just a local councillor. Szzuk ( talk) 16:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC) reply
• DElete Local councillors are generally NN; being PR officer for a barely notable group similarly does not make him notable. Peterkingiron ( talk) 16:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC) reply
• Comment: Olad wears many hats. Besides being a Councillor for Camden, where he is the Chair of the Culture and Environment Scrutiny Committee [1], he is also the Public Affairs Officer for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Migration (APPG) [2]. The APPG is a grouping in the UK parliament that is composed of politicians from all political parties. Additionally, Olad is the Chair of the 8th Holborn Scout Group, established over 100 years ago [3]. Middayexpress ( talk) 17:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC) reply

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete. Obviously he doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN, for the reasons given above. I don't see any evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources, on which a claim to meet the GNG could be founded. You only really seem to get this kind of routine local election coverage, which isn't directed at the subject of this article, doesn't discuss him in detail, and probably isn't sufficiently reliable either. -- Mkativerata ( talk) 20:19, 12 August 2014 (UTC) reply
