Doesn't appear to meet Wikipedia:Bio#Politicians. There is no assertion of notability other than she is a council member. Consensus is that being a member of a city council is not in itself reason enough for an article on Wikipedia. SilkTork *^YES! 02:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the fact that there is a template and she's on it suggests that she's notable -- or else the template should be deleted as well. And maybe all the others should be deleted as well. And that city -- New York City -- has anyone ever even heard of that one? DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 07:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, generally i'd say that council members are not necessarily notable, but in case of cities with 10+ million inhabitants, i think its quite different. --Soman (talk) 10:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- quite a few gnews hits, many of which are in fairly major papers and go into detail about her positions on local issues -- these mentions are quite numerous, and mention of her is more than incidental. I'd say that she satisfies the WP:BIO general criterion. RayAYang (talk) 06:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
