Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being municipal councillors in small towns, but this does not present compelling evidence that he has preexisting notability for other reasons. Even the blip of national media coverage he received for absurdly blaming flooding on gay marriage just makes him a
WP:BLP1E, not a topic of enduring public interest that would pass the
will people still care about this in ten years test.

Weak Delete Town councillor for
Henley-on-Thames. Fails
WP:NPOL. Weak in the sense that all the national (and international) coverage of the subject falls into
WP:BLP1E, without any real discussion about the subject (coverage is only the subject's 2014 letter to the Henley Standard [see the
Daily Mail story as the best case for substantive national coverage]). However, the story did make BBC News'
top stories of 2014, making this a closer case than I anticipated, as
WP:POLOUTCOMES does contemplate keeping local officials if they "received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role." --
