Delete not even close to meeting inclusion guidelines for politicians. City council members in a city this size need strong coverage in publications far from the city, which is lacking here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:27, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I had not seen anything on the standards for notability which requires significant coverage outside of the city, but, if that is the usual standard used elsewhere, I have no objection. AJLooMNoS (talk) 19:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- With a city council member we will be able to find at least some newspaper coverage for almost every member of a city council everywhere, but that is not going to be enough.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:07, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Amarillo is not in the narrow class of cities where a city councillor would usually get an automatic presumption of notability — that's for internationally prominent global cities on the order of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto or London, not for every city council on earth. At Amarillo's level, we do indeed need to see a much wider range of coverage, establishing a reason why the person could credibly claim to be significantly more notable than most other city councillors, but that's not being shown here.

Delete. Does not meet WP:NPOL. The only coverage I find is either related to his election or routine reports of activities in his current role. The award does not convey notability. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:28, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
