Not particularly notable local politician, not demonstrating the depth of coverage required by WP:NPOL. Article is promotional rather than encyclopedic: when all the political advertisement ("father, community activist, lifetime citizen") is removed, what is left is fairly slim. ubiquity ( talk) 20:19, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

- In theory, Austin is a significant enough city that a well-written and well-sourced article about a city councillor could be kept under WP:NPOL #3 — but is not a large enough city that a city councillor automatically gains an entitlement to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists. Of the nine sources being cited here, three are his own website (a primary source) and the other six are not substantive coverage of him, but are merely namechecking his existence in the process of actually being about other things. So WP:GNG has not been satisfied here. And further, the article reads very much like a "meet your councilmember" backgrounder in a campaign brochure, rather than a genuinely encyclopedic article about a city councillor. All of which means that while he might qualify to keep a good article, "good" is not what this article is. Note also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sabino Pio Renteria, which was about the same person — it was a much shorter article which just asserted his existence, the end, so this is different enough not to qualify for an A7 speedy, but it's worth being aware nonetheless that the different title used this time may have been an attempt to evade the prior discussion.

- Delete Non-notable city council member. Coverage is routine and local. I was going to suggest a redirect to Austin City Council but there is no such article; guess that tells us something! -- MelanieN ( talk) 00:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
