Keep as subject is a municipal official from a major Swiss city (City councillors and other major municipal officers are not automatically notable, although precedent has tended to favor keeping members of the main citywide government of internationally famous metropolitan per WP:Notability). Sources show that Indermaur is written about in Swiss press. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 18:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- All sources are local press in St. Gallen, not wider Swiss press, a city of only 75,000 people, not an "internationally famous metropolitan area" (WP:POLOUTCOMES). Head of social services is not a significant municipal official; such administrators are rarely notable even for major US cities and states. Reywas92^Talk 19:10, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

St. Gallen is the eighth largest city in Switzerland and one of the largest in Eastern Switzerland. Remember, this is a big city for a small country. Switzerland's largest city has approximately 409,000 inhabitants. St. Gallen is home to University of St. Gallen and in the twentieth century was Switzerland's largest exporter of textiles. It is a significant metropolitan area. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 23:34, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a local politiican without coverage outside the city where he serves.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:35, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPOL doesn't say that coverage has to come from outside of the area they serve. A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists. That can be local news articles so long as there is significant coverage in them. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 14:18, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All local politicians receive local coverage, so if we use such a low standard, all politicians would have to be included.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's quite a claim. I, for one, cannot find substantial local coverage for every politician in my city. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 15:46, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- local politician needs more than just local sources.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
