Non-Notable politician. A search on Google, Yahoo! and other search engines yield very little result if any results for the Canadian politician even when Lois Griffin the character from the American TV series Family Guy was filtered out in the search results.

  • Keep – First woman named chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, which is a fairly high-profile position in Canada's largest city (see, for example, how much news coverage current chair Karen Stintz receives as a result of her position). The difficulty here is that Google et al will not be able to access much news coverage from the late 1980s and early 1990s. I have access to a database that includes old Toronto Star articles, and I'm finding dozens of hits for "Lois Griffin"+"TTC". I've added a few of the most relevant ones, two of which are fairly lengthy articles entirely about Griffin. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 15:42, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
