Disputed speedy. This is an article which asserts the basic existence of its topic, but fails to demonstrate any actual notability — he's a local councillor in a municipality which isn't large enough for its mayors to pass WP:POLITICIAN just because they exist (and as per WP:OUTCOMES, we have much lower and more flexible standards for mayors than we do for aldermen.) And the only sources here are a generic election results table and a photo on the municipality's website; although the disputing editor asserted that Mr. Long meets WP:GNG on those grounds, both of those sources still fail to provide any evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. So no matter how you slice it, I still don't see how this is anything but a delete. Bearcat ( talk) 19:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC) reply
