- While Boston is certainly large and prominent enough a city that its city councillors would satisfy WP:NPOL #3 if they were substantive and properly sourced, city council is not a level of office that confers an entitlement to keep an article that's this badly sourced and contains no real substance beyond an acknowledgement of his existence — it's a level of government where the substance and quality of sourcing constitutes the difference between a keep and a delete. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if it can be written and sourced properly. Bearcat ( talk) 22:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
