Recent expansion just over the threshold. Suitably sourced. I believe we have a guideline of only naming non-notable living relatives if their names are well-known (that said, I can't find that guideline). I thus suggest that the names of his children be replaced by saying that he had three girls and one boy (or something along those lines). Content-wise, you say that "Kent ran again as city councillor in 2016" but you don't say whether he was successful; that should be easy enough to add (i.e. this feels incomplete; I've looked it up for you and he came dead-last – please add something about it). The article is neutral. QPQ has been done. Earwig is unconcerned. Hook is interesting and facts check out. Just a couple of content issues to tweak and then it'll be all good.

- @Schwede66: done. WP:BLPNAME does not prohibit naming non-notable living relatives in BLPs:
"The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject."
I've removed the names of his last two daughters (which were only mentioned in the Dominion Post obit), but have kept the names of his first two children (which were mentioned in separate sources). I've also added a sentence about how his son was the market manager, but I can delete it if it's trivia. —Bloom6132 (talk) 04:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
