Non-notable landscaper who got his fifteen minutes of fame. He received a lot of coverage in human interest stories in September, but none after that and if he were a local politician who had been elected mayor of a small town while away in another country, he would not be included. Doesn't meet WP:NPOL and the coverage isn't sustained to the point of meeting our inclusion criteria. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:57, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. He's the chief of one specific Akan village, not of the entire Akan ethnic group — so there's no automatic notability just for existing. And for media coverage, all we really have is a brief blip of human interest coverage because he happened to be living in the rural outskirts of Vancouver at the time of his appointment, and thus there was an "interesting thing happens to local guy" angle for Vancouver's local media to play with. That's simply not enough to demonstrate sustained notability for a village chief, if you can't show sustained GNG coverage of his career as chief past the blip. So there's just no genuinely strong basis for an article here — and it's not a bias issue, as even in a first world country the mayor of a town with a population of 6K would not be deemed to automatically pass WP:NPOL just for existing as a mayor, or to satisfy NPOL #3 on the basis of this amount of referencing either.
