Fails WP:N. Subject is a non-notable City of Newcastle councillor. AussieLegend (talk) 07:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong AussieLegend he is also candidate for the division of Newcastle and runs a financial planning business. Enidblyton11 (talk) 11:53, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Does not meet the primary notability criterion per WP:N. Lacking significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Coverage is typical of that expected of a local city council member. See WP:LOCAL. Cindamuse (talk) 12:12, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:POLITICIAN says that "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." Luke is both of those things, but notability has not been demonstrated. St Anselm (talk) 07:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN, and I'm not sure how running a financial business qualifies as notable. Frickeg (talk) 11:38, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Anselm and Frickeg. hamiltonstone (talk) 12:02, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
