Marshall is a non-notable local politician without any other notable qualities. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Donoghue Thomas.macmillan (talk) 14:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep Member of Portland city council, which is a considerable amount of notability, especially as one of the first two Green members there. Portland, though only 65,000, is the largest city in Maine. If this passes, I'll take the other to deletion review--it attracted very little attention at AfD. DGG (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

:*This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete. It's ludicrous to have such an article. If I wrote an article about a politician representing a minority political party from a 65,000 population town in Portugal or Austria or Madagascar, it'd be deleted faster than you can say US-centric viewpoint.--S Marshall (talk) 18:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete no evidence of notability. Mayalld (talk) 13:43, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge with the larger Maine Green Independent Party] article. There is no need to have an article for every city councillor who was ever elected.Wikigonish (talk) 14:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Contrary to the statement above, there's plenty of assertion of notability, so can't be speedied; and as noted by DGG, his being a member of a significant city's council is important. I have to say weak delete simply because of the total lack of sources, other than his own campaign website: if we had good sources backing everything up, I'd be in favour of keeping.
