Very detailed, but none of it is notable by any reasonable standard. If the GNG alone is enough to justify this, then we need to re-examine the rationale. DGG ( talk ) 04:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC) reply

  • Delete Sure, delete it. DocumentError ( talk) 06:38, 27 December 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. All the sources are local, as one might expect in a case such as this. I would probably be more conflicted about this article if it hadn't been an autobiography. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 10:52, 27 December 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Becoming an elected official is not in itself notable. Unless the subject has used that office to actually achieve something that somebody in that position might not reasonably be expected to achieve, then this article is not about anyone notable. -- gilgongo ( talk) 00:33, 28 December 2013 (UTC) reply
    • Actually, it is for many positions. We write articles for people before they're even sworn into office, when they've literally accomplished nothing notable besides winning an election. US Representatives, state legislators, and city councilmembers for cities about twice as large as Kansas City are all presumed to be notable. - LtNOWIS ( talk) 20:50, 28 December 2013 (UTC) reply
