Biography of a county councillor, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. As always, county council is not a level of office that confers an automatic inclusion freebie in Wikipedia -- the notability test for county councillors hinges not on verifying that they existed, but on showing substantial media coverage about their work to establish the significance of it: specific things they accomplished in the role, specific effects they had on the development of the county, specific impacts they had on wider political affairs beyond their county, or other stuff which establishes a reason to regard them as significantly more notable than most other county councillors.
But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all (the county council's own website and her campaign website), with not even one reliable or notability-supporting piece of media coverage shown at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have a lot more substance and sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete members of county councils are not default notable and the sourcing is not enough to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:08, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Searches on google news bring up lots of hits that could be added in, seems like this article could be improved rather than deleted. I've started. Here's great source if anyone wants to do more: https://news.stlpublicradio.org/tags/colleen-wasinger CT55555 (talk) 15:21, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to St. Louis County Council. Not seeing any indication of notability (per WP:NPOL) at this time, but I'm not opposed to preserving the page's history. KidAd • SPEAK 17:12, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass WP:NPOL and doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG either as all the coverage is specifically local. Local politicians are far from guaranteed a Wikipedia page. SportingFlyer T·C 13:01, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Being a council member does not qualify as being notable, and not other grounds for notability are obvious.Deathlibrarian (talk) 13:03, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
