Not notable. Small town mayor, population 7,824 (2006). Lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. One of a glut of articles on seemingly non notable St Peter's College old boys. Wikipedia is not a webhost for a collection bios of a schools former students. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:45, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Pretty clearly non-notable. Gets no substantial hits on Google or Google News. Any coverage that exists would almost certainly be local. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as seems to meet WP:ANYBIO - recognition within field of endeavour (accountancy). NealeFamily (talk) 23:39, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yor're joking! Which part of this does he meet? 1) The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times.

2) The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.[7] Johnbod (talk) 04:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep office-holder of national organisations.Rick570 (talk) 22:23, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not a criterion. Johnbod (talk) 04:16, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any major offices in national organisations anyway (not that they would establish notability if they existed): being an elected fellow of a major academic body fulfils WP:SCHOLAR but that doesn't apply to professional bodies. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Lack of third-party sources. Local politicians/office-holders are not notable in the absence of such sources. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He was an ARA (Auckland Regional Council) councillor for 12 years. Not just a "small-town mayor". Rick570 (talk) 20:39, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
