• Notable because county board chairman at a young age. Plays very prominent and public role. Illinoiswiki10 ( talk) 17:42, 3 May 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Did you bother to click the prominent links at the notability notice sitting at the top of the article you wrote? Staszek Lem ( talk) 23:10, 3 May 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete There is no coverage that rises above passing local coverage. He is called a "rising star". Well, if he really does rise and gain higher political office, than so be it. He will then be notable. At present he is not notable. He is in his early 30s, so he is not really all that particularly young. At least not young enough to make an argument his age alone in any way makes him notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:16, 4 May 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. This article lacks significant content and the subject lacks notability. Bmbaker88 ( talk) 12:33, 4 May 2017 (UTC) reply

• Delete At this level, politicians fail WP:NPOL unless outside notability can be found. The article is also poor, saying he has gained "notoriety" for coming out as gay. AusLondonder ( talk) 06:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Officeholders at the county level of government are not extended an automatic presumption of notability just for existing as officeholders, but neither the depth nor the range of sourcing shown here are enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu. And being gay is not, in and of itself, a free notability boost over other county councillors either — it could make a difference if the coverage of his coming out had nationalized for some reason (and good luck with that in 2017), but not if the local media are the only ones who can actually be shown to give a hoot. And no, age isn't a free notability boost over other county councillors either — lots of people have been elected to office at younger ages than Lawlor. Bearcat ( talk) 20:08, 9 May 2017 (UTC) reply
• Delete Point taken John Pack Lambert. I do agree that on second thought the notability here is certainly lacking. I do see that there is likely not enough independent sourcing about the subject to justify notability. Deletion seems appropriate. Illinoiswiki10 ( talk) 19:54, 10 May 2017 (UTC) reply
