This article has been repeatedly nominated for deletion by WP:CSD and WP:PROD. Subject fails WP:NPOL. Served as a local councillor for a single term before switching parties and being defeated. Article appears somewhat promotional: "Adeoye is a voice for the residents in Chatham Central, striving for vibrant community and standing up to austerity" - which is also rather inaccurate, as she subsequently changed parties. Many of the sources are primary, those sources that are secondary are very much routine, local coverage to be expected for councillors. AusLondonder (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass NPOL and not otherwise notable. Mccapra (talk) 23:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This article has been edited severally over the years by different editors and this article has been nominated severally for deletion discussion. She being an elected official whether one term or not passes the Notability test. If there have been any issues with NPOV I taught us editors we will rather correct thoses statements but using that as a basis for deletion is not what as Wikipedians we hold ourselves out to do.

Unfortunately being an elected official in local government does not "pass the notability test" see WP:NPOL: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability". The article has been nominated a few times with WP:CSD and WP:PROD but not for a deletion discussion. AusLondonder (talk) 01:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The party switch means that she garnered more media mentions than your run-of-the-mill local councilor, but not enough significant coverage to pass the notability bar, IMO. Eluchil404 (talk) 03:20, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
