Delete. WP:BLP, based solely on a single primary source of a person notable only as deputy mayor of a municipality not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors or deputy mayors under WP:NPOL. This distinction only counts as notability in major, internationally famous global cities on the order of New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto or London -- in any place outside of that range, a city councillor gets a Wikipedia article only if he can be reliably sourced as notable beyond the purely local for far more than just existing. Also possible conflict of interest, as the creator's username was "Matlantivex". Bearcat (talk) 22:35, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A7 material; no real assertion of notability beyond criteria expressly discounted in WP:NPOL. FalconK (talk) 05:54, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Figure is notable and different than the nova-scotian politician. Figure is a cultural figure who presents himself publicly very frequently on his youtube channel, podcast, and live events. He is as active as CGP Grey or Brady Haran as an educational "youtuber" and podcast host.
