Delete. WP:BLP of a city councillor in a city of just 7K. As always, a city councillor does not pass WP:NPOL just for being a city councillor, except in internationally recognized global cities on the order of New York City, Los Angeles or London -- for anything below that rarefied level, a city councillor gets a Wikipedia article only if he can be demonstrated and sourced as significantly more notable than the norm. But what we've got here is an article that reads like it could have been posted to his own website (firstname instead of WP:LASTNAME in body text, natch), and is referenced to a combination of primary sourcing and WP:ROUTINE local coverage not even slightly out of the ordinary level of local press coverage that all city councillors always get, which means that none of this is enough to make him more notable than the norm.

• Delete even the mayor of a city this size would not be notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:02, 12 August 2016 (UTC) reply
