Under
WP:NPOL, Wikipedia only extends an automatic presumption of
notability to city councillors if they serve in major metropolitan
world cities with populations in the millions, such as
New York City or
Los Angeles, but Reno (population 225K) does not meet that standard. A city councillor in Reno could still potentially be considered notable if the article were
reliably sourced enough to get them past
WP:GNG as an individual, but none of these four articles meet that standard either — Gustin, Dortch and Zadra all rely exclusively on the city's own website (an invalid
primary source) and on "election results" lists which merely mention their names, and while Sferrazza is marginally better sourced than that, she still isn't sourced enough. (Sferrazza didn't win when she ran for higher office, either, so that claim still doesn't entitle her to an automatic keep in the absence of much better sourcing than this.) So they all need to be deleted as things stand right now.

Delete - Zadra, Gustin and Dortch could be speedy. References on Sferrazza are mainly mentions in local news articles, which as a city council person would be the norm. Not notable. May be in the future.

Delete all none of them come even close to the notability threshold for politicians.

Delete as non-notable, as of now, low-level legislators, i.e. councillors.
