A councilman (not even mayor) that clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN. Also an unsuccessful candidate for higher office. WP:GNG is not met either. Sources are mostly routine (articles that mention him, but are not about him) and primary (court case, election results). Rusf10 (talk) 14:57, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete being a failed candidate for congress does not make one notable, being on the East Organe City Council is way below the notability threshold.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:39, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Being mentioned in New York Times means that he is notable, is it not?--Biografer (talk) 02:28, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Borderline Keep None of his positions gives him inherent notability, but he appears to have enough information from reliable sources for a full stand alone biography. --RAN (talk) 02:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN criteria.--Rpclod (talk) 13:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete most of the sources are either primary sources about election results or about his family. The sources that are about him are all rather tangential and not in depth. I am willing to reconsider if additional sources could be located, but I'm not having much luck, perhaps given his era. Alansohn (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
