City councillor who hasn't received any coverage beyond routine election press. Does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN or WP:GNG. Searching online was a bit difficult due to a plethora of other people with the same name, but even when searching together with relevant keywords I couldn't find anything significant. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 04:03, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, city councillor of a mid-level city with no notability of his own. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:57, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. WP:POLITICIAN is demonstrably not met (local councillors do not meet the expectation of "international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office"). WP:GNG is also not met (other than routine coverage of the subject's participation in elections/etc, the only other coverage that I can find is this type of thing - which is hardly "significant coverage [which] addresses the topic directly and in detail".)

Delete - not notable local councillor, Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Spleodrach (talk) 19:31, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Limerick is not a global city for the purposes of clinching the notability of its city councillors under WP:NPOL #2, so the notability test he would have to pass is that he could be extremely well-sourced as having significantly greater notability than most other city councillors. But with just four sources here, of which one is self-published and two more just trivially namecheck his existence in passing while being fundamentally about something other than him, that bar has not been cleared.
