Keep - Auckland Councillors each represent wards that are often larger than most New Zealand electorates, earn a full-time wage of over $100k, and control a budget and asset base in the billions. As the majority don't represent any mainstream political party it's difficult for citizens of New Zealand's largest city to access basic, objective information about their public representatives. It's really concerning to see these pages being deleted. All should be kept and maintained. Otakoulane (talk) 22:43, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Procedural keep Simply being an Auckland councillor in its own right doesn't meet WP:NPOL, and city councillors across the world need to have a heightened level of coverage in order to be kept. That being said, this isn't the worst article in the world, and while I'd still vote to delete for failing GNG, it feels potentially salvageable if other sources exist. I'm not looking through the other six since they all need to be reviewed on their own merits, so these need individual AfD discussions, hence the procedural keep.

• Delete Richard Hill: only SIGCOV I found is this: [1]
• Delete Chris Darby: did not find any SIGCOV
• Delete Shane Henderson: only SIGCOV I found is this: [2]
• Delete Ken Turner: only SIGCOV I found is this: [3]
• Delete Kerrin Leoni: only SIGCO I found is this: [4] [5]
• Redirect Julie Fairey to Michael Wood (politician) (her husband) as an ATD. The coverage of her relates to Michael Wood and the airport shares issues.
• Keep Josephine Bartley: there is SIGCOV that isn't just related to the election: [6] [7] [8] Traumnovelle (talk) 00:00, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Julie Fairey - not accurate to redirect to her spouse's article as there is no joint coverage or joint projects etc. They have separate careers. MurielMary (talk) 10:02, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Josephine Bartley: there are sources that are beyond her election and councillor work. MurielMary (talk) 10:22, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
