| Submission declined on 6 July 2024 by SafariScribe (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Comment: Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN, as being a member of a County Council is not a notable public position. Any assessment of notability needs to be made on his achievements outside of his election results. Dan arndt (talk) 08:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There are whole paragraphs, and sections even, without a single citation. In articles on living people, every material statement, anything potentially contentious, and all private personal details (incl. but not only DOB) must be clearly supported by inline citations to reliable published sources, or else removed.
