Article about a non-notable local councillor, who fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. The only sources in the article and which I can find, are from local press sources relating to a local political scandal which he was implicated in, but never convicted of, so this could also be a WP:BLP1E case. The article also mentions that he was a parliamentary election candidate, however, in both cases he was totally unsuccessful. Finishing a distant second in Banbury and third, with 9% in Luton South, neither of which satisfy WP:POLITICIAN and also mean that there is no clear possible redirect target.

- Under WP:NPOL, Wikipedia accepts members of the citywide London Assembly as being notable, but we do not extend that to members of the individual borough councils — and unsuccessful candidates for election to Parliament are also not eligible for articles on that basis either. Per WP:PERP, further, we do not create articles about people who were accused, but not convicted, of a crime. And finally, the volume of sourcing here just isn't adequate to claim that he passes WP:GNG despite failing several subject-specific inclusion criteria. Delete.
