The article does not meet WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO. Article makes no claim of notability. Sources in the article and WP:BEFORE revealed no WP:RS containing material that meets WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in depth. Two sources in the article are database entries. // Timothy :: talk 02:30, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Deputy head of a local government at the county level is not an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL — at that level of significance, the notability test requires reliably sourced evidence of his importance, not just cursory verification of his existence. And no, having subsequently been the founder and chairman of a non-notable organization isn't a notability booster either. I can't read Latvian or access 80-year-old Latvian sources, so I'm perfectly willing to reconsider this if somebody can demonstrate that he was actually more notable than this article indicates — but the lack of an article about him on the Latvian Wikipedia suggests I shouldn't hold my breath.

Delete county level positions are never enough for default notability, and there is not enough sources to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
