Delete. Politicians at the county level of office are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, or even because they get the purely local media coverage that every county politician always gets because covering local politics is local media's job — to clear the notability bar for her own article, she would need to be able to show nationalizing coverage that expands well beyond what's simply expected for a county freeholder to be able to show. And as important as it is to counter systemic bias, we do not do that by creating special lowered notability standards whereby members of equity groups get into Wikipedia just for being county or city councillors while only straight white men actually have to clear a conventional notability standard — we do it by working to identify the women or people of colour or LGBTs who do clear our existing notability standards but are getting overlooked.

Delete Local politicians do not get auto-notability, they require significant coverage in sources outside of the local area.--
