Failure of WP:POLITICIAN. Only office he held was councilman. He ran for other offices and lost. Only source is New York Times articles which appears not to be about him, but happens to mention him. Rusf10 ( talk) 17:01, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

- Delete An article with no meaningful claim of notability, with minimal sourcing in the article and little more to be found in the search required by WP:BEFORE. Being a mere councilmember is an insufficient claim of notability, unlike being a mayor or being elected to countywide office. Nor is there a logical merge target that might have been considered as an alternative to deletion. I'm sure that all of these considerations are taken into account in *ALL* articles nominated and that we aren't nominating articles for deletion out of pure spite. But in this case there is rare agreement. If only that might one day be reciprocated. Alansohn ( talk) 18:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Smalltown municipal councillors are not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NPOL just because they exist, but there's no evidence of enough reliable source coverage to get him over WP:NPOL #2 as being significantly more notable than the norm.
