- Keep, and I doubt that the Deputy Mayor of Toronto is creating vanity articles about himself. - SimonP 01:18, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. If he was an ordinary councillor I would have voted delete (there's around 30000 of them in Britain alone), but as he's deputy mayor of a major city I guess he must be somewhat notable. Rje 01:22, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The positions are quite different in Canada and the UK. Each Toronto city councillor represents some 57,000 people, and we have articles on many of them. - SimonP 02:01, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- The size of the article would be the problem, not the position par se. Some councillors are noteworthy, some are not, a sub-stub just saying "Person X is a city councillor in Toronto, they have 4 grandchildren" would look like vanity to me, or at least a page for a non-notable person. A deputy-mayor for a major city is notable, in my view. Rje 02:31, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- Keep, there seems to be potential for expansion. Shimeru 02:38, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep All city councillors of major cities deserve pages. Earl Andrew 02:55, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep it. —RaD Man (talk) 03:09, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep Spinboy 03:10, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: I don't see how being the debuty mayor of any city is inherently notable. Has the man done anything of note besides holding this position? DCEdwards1966 03:39, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. This is a verifyable public figure. Bryan 06:10, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep, obviously. Neutralitytalk 06:59, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Since vfd posting, YUL89YYZ added two paragraphs and I just added three, hopefully putting Feldman in much better context and showing even greater notability than in the original two sentence stub. Samaritan 07:34, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. YUL89YYZ is a respectable user and won't add stupid articles. utcursch 10:48, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Ignoring my Toronto residency during the week, Feldman's article has expanded greatly. Ironically, he doesn't have as much of a public recognition as former deputy mayor Case Ootes, one of my personal favourite councillors ever. -- user:zanimum
- I don't think there's much chance of this one being deleted, but put me down for keep all the same. CJCurrie 01:33, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. Public figure, inherently noteworthy and encyclopedic. GRider\talk 17:51, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Obvious keep. Dan100 11:04, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, non notable. Megan1967 03:52, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
