Article fails WP:BIO. Limited sources beyond primary. Seems to only be involved with a tavern and held a local councilor role. Quick search online revealed no indication of notability. 59abcd (talk) 22:46, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Local municipal councils are not an "inherently" WP:NPOL-passing office, so he has to be evaluated strictly on the sourcing — but this depends entirely on a mixture of primary sourcing that isn't support for notability at all with a tiny smattering of local-interest history books that aren't demonstrating a reason why he would have nationalized or internationalized significance.
