Delete. WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor in a municipality not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under WP:NPOL. City councillors get a presumption of notability only in major international global cities on the order of Toronto, New York City or London -- in any place outside of that range, a municipal councillor gets an article only if he can be well-sourced as more than just locally notable for more than just existing as a city councillor. In addition, this actually misrepresents some of its sourcing -- while three of the links claim to be from the Toronto Star (and would therefore demonstrate that he was getting nationalized coverage), in reality they're not: all three of them are actually in the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, the same publication as most of the other sources. Plus fully a quarter of the sourcing here is sitting on primary sources like his own website and his own LinkedIn and a WordPress blog he was the writer of. And even the ones that are reliable sources mostly aren't about him, but merely namecheck his existence in coverage of events. So none of this is enough to claim that he passes WP:GNG.
