- Speedy Keep - Los Angeles is a huge city with only 15 councilmembers for a city of 4 million. It has the highest ratio of constituents per councilmember anywhere in the United States. Therefore, being an Los Angeles City Councilmember is notable. Flawed nomination. Victor Victoria ( talk) 02:08, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep – Los Angeles, being the very huge city that it is, is very notable. So are its councilmembers. SilverSurfingSerpant ( talk) 13:10, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- While Wikipedia does not confer inherent notability on city councillors in most cities under WP:NPOL, we do accept articles about city councillors in major, internationally famous metropolitan global cities such as Los Angeles — that is considered to satisfy NPOL #3. The article certainly needs improvement, but the volume of coverage will increase given that he only just won election a week ago — so the fact that the article isn't already in a GA/FA state has no bearing on anything. Keep. Bearcat ( talk) 16:56, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep - Los Angeles is among the biggest cities in the world and as one of just 15 council members, Ryu seems to clearly pass the WP:POLITICIAN threshold. Carrite ( talk) 14:58, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
