Member of the Snohomish County Council. The expectation of county council members who have not served as a member of a state or national legislature is that the sourcing show more than "they exist" or routine actions. The sourcing should describe their impact on policy development or the political significance of their actions. In this case, the subject does not currently pass WP:NPOL and the sourcing is not sufficient to meet our expectations of local office holders. A redirect to Snohomish County Council is not possible at this moment since there is not (yet) a list of past members on the page. Enos733 (talk) 20:07, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete: Low has not held any office higher than County Council in the past. This article is also reasonably short and doesn't include anything major he did on the Council.

• Delete fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG and as stated by nominator, Snohomish County Council is an inappropriate target with a lack of past members, so using it as a redirect as an ATD will probably end up as a SURPRISE at some point because some redirects can be COSTLY.
