Fails WP:NPOL as the subject is only notable for his election to the Pittsburgh City Council in 2019. None of the cited sources establish notability beyond the election, and, per NPOL, simply being an elected local official does not guarantee notability. There's also very likely a WP:COI issue here, as the article has been entirely written by Popscreenshot, who is the author of the photograph used in the article. ― Tartan357 ^Talk 01:07, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI is unmerited. I don't know Wilson. I take photos of local notables at public events. Just because I take their photo does not mean I know them. I am not paid or asked to create any contributions to Wikipedia. Popscreenshot (talk) 19:45, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete city council members are not default notable. Not enough sourcing to show notability that way.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I created this article as part of my contributions to Pittsburgh here. I agree Bobby Wilson may not pass WP:NPOL. I was hoping to fill out the entire city council but see the error now. Thank you for helping clarify WP:NPOL for me. Popscreenshot (talk) 19:45, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Popscreenshot, thanks for your continued contributions! :) Bkissin (talk) 18:01, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
