1. She is politician. 2. She is member of NPP party. 3. She is council member (councillor). That's all that this stub article contain. None of these meet WP:NPOL and doesn't have significant coverage to meet WP:BIO. This is non notable local politician. Her colleagues, the council members are 63 in number, virtually all non notable. The article is also currently undergoing deletion discussion on on Chinese Wikipedia too, they are all created recently possibly to boost poitical image.–Ammarpad (talk) 19:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both (the second of which I have added myself). City councillors are not automatically notable, like members of a national chamber are. The speaker and deputy speaker of this council do not seem to have articles so it seems unlikely that membership confers much notability. Of course, the subjects could be notable for other reasons, but there is noting to suggest that this is the case here. Also, the first article seems to be an autobiography and the second article an attempt by the same author at promoting a party colleague. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:41, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both. To be fair, Taipei is a large and internationally prominent enough city that a well-written and well-sourced article about a city councillor might very well be kept, but that's not what either of these articles are — both are brief stubs which do little more than state that these councillors exist, and source the fact of their existence to one (Lin) or two (Wu) glancing namechecks of their existence in articles about other things. That is not what it takes to make a city councillor notable enough for a Wikipedia article — even in that rarefied class of cities where we do grant city councillors a presumption of notability, a councillor's article still has to have more sourcing and substance than this before it actually becomes invulnerable to deletion.
