A city council member who does not meet WP:NPOL. (Does city council count as "provincial legislature"?) Although he has received some local press coverage, the only significant coverage is the Tribune article, and it too is local. I was going to suggest a merge to the Philadelphia City Council page but it just links to individual articles for the members. Citrivescence ( talk) 03:03, 17 April 2019 (UTC) reply

• Keep Philadelphia is one of the internationally famous metropolitan cities where there has been general consensus to keep local councilmembers. Of course reliable sourcing must be present. In this case, there is adequate independent and primary sources confirming that the subject holds the position. While most of the news coverage is local, there is a good couple paragraphs about one the subject's policy proposals in Next City, a national national urban affairs magazine. -- Enos733 ( talk) 03:39, 17 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep he seems to pass WP:GNG (to answer your question, City Councils do NOT count as "provincial/state legislatures" IIRC, although some more leeway might be given for such a large city as Philadelphia, but GNG renders the question moot), and while he's not the least obscure person barely notable is still notable. Also, the sources given range from 2000 to 2019 (and excluding the oldest and newest source 2011 to 2019), thus fulfilling WP:SUSTAINED IMO. John M Wolfson ( talk) 03:44, 17 April 2019 (UTC) reply
• Keep based on the sources, he seems to pass the general notability guideline. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 17:07, 17 April 2019 (UTC) reply
