WP:BLP of a municipal councillor, in a city (pop. 4K) not large enough to get its city councillors over
WP:NPOL just for being city councillors. The strongest "more notable than the norm" hook here is that she's transgender and pagan, neither of which actually constitutes a notability freebie in and of itself -- and the sourcing here is limited to the city council's own
primary source webpage about itself and two deadlinks of magazine articles that don't look like they were particularly strong
reliable sources even when they were live ("The Witches' Voice", in particular, is a
user-generated content site, which deadlinks because "the author of this article no longer has an active account".) None of this constitutes a compelling reason why she would warrant coverage in an encyclopedia, and the sourcing is not solid enough to claim
WP:GNG. Delete.

Delete per nom. Councillors of
Centralia, Missouri (and other cities of similar sizes) are not inherently notable, as noted. The two characteristics that might give Orsini notability are her being a Pagan and her being transgender, which are both uncommon (though not unheard of) among elected officials. However, as interesting as those characteristics may be, she has not been the subject of any
significant coverage to establish her notability – coverage of her has either been
WP:ROUTINE (i.e., not beyond that expected of small-town elected officials), or tangential (e.g., she is briefly mentioned in
this article about transgender elected officials, but the article is not about her). IgnorantArmies(talk) 07:47, 23 June 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete The only thing that surprises me is that Centralia with an area under 3 square miles and just over 4,000 people subdivides their council into at least 3 wards. However that bizarrity considering its area does not make council members notable.
