Non-notable local politician that fails WP:POLITICIAN. Most cited coverage is that he was running or run of the mill candidate profiles. Relatively little significant coverage about him as an actual individual. Reads more like a resume. Niteshift36 ( talk) 21:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Came across this page from BLPN. Page is promotional and subject does not meet general notability requirements. Most coverage is only local. Meatsgains( talk) 02:52, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I also saw this at BLPN. The article is unsourced, promotional, and based on the available evidence here the subject does not seem notable. JoJo Anthrax ( talk) 14:41, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete city councilors are not default notable. We need more sources to show notability. We need way more than a open source website that seeks articles on all political candidates. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 00:15, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Lacks notability as a city councilor. Tampa would not meet the "city of international prominence" for municipal pols that Bearcat suggests as a rule of thumb on WP:NPOL. Additionally, WP:NOTRESUME and lacks any sources backing up claims. Could possibly be G11'd Bkissin ( talk) 18:44, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. As large and significant as Tampa is, it is still not a global city for the purposes of being able to make its city councillors notable enough for articles just for the fact of serving as city councillors per se. He could still clear the bar if something genuinely substantive and reliably sourced could be written about his political career which demonstrated credible evidence (eg. nationalizing coverage) that he was a special case over and above most other city councillors — but this, as written, is not so much an encyclopedia article as it is an unsourced "meet your councillor" blurb of the type one would expect to see on the city council's own self-published website. The key to getting a city councillor over the "special case" bar does not hinge on being able to primary-source his pre-politics career and volunteer backgrounds, because every city councillor always has career and community involvement backgrounds and a primary-source profile on the city council's website — it hinges on being able to reliably source genuinely substantive content about his work on the city council.
