While this individual is on the council of a large city his article does not indicate notability. All references are to the city's web page and there is nothing notable about his accomplishments on the city council. VViking_TalkEdits 23:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOL (not enough press coverage) and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 07:16, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can do better than this. While Philly is a global city for the purposes of making a city councillor eligible for an article under WP:NPOL #2, the actual inclusion criterion is still that the article has to be reliably sourced to some degree of media coverage about the councillor — but there's not a single non-primary source here, and not a single syllable of content about his political career beyond the initial statement that he happens to hold a city council seat. What's important and notability-making for a politician is their political career, not just where they went to high school and university. If somebody can actually write and source a reasonably substantive article about what he did in politics, then that would be a different barrel of fish than this is.

Comment: I'm not finding a lot online, which is surprising. Any idea why? I'll investigate deeper, time permitting. Bearian (talk) 23:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
