Very weak Keep: The article was created with the note Seems like a valid entry given the situation with Pittsburgh Mayor Bob O'Connor in 2006. He was once a deputy mayor and is now chief of staff of Pittsburgh mayor. There are a few sources online of his presence which may be sufficient to make him notable. Though I am still not convinced of his notability (how many deputy mayors are there, do they all deserve an article, does every politician at some position deserve an article), I will vote a weak keep. The article has been here for too long and can be kept with modifications and references. Samar (Talk . Contributions) 18:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete - The impression I get is that this is a WP:BLP1E, and the one event was someone else's illness. No problem with recreating if he someday does become notable on his own. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 19:36, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He does not meet any of the criteria under WP:Politician. His most prominent accomplishment is that he's the chief of staff of a mayor. Every metropolitan city mayor has a chief of staff and if that alone qualifies one for notability, then all of them should have their own Wikipedia article. Also, he is a political appointee, not an elected official. User:Samar alluded to Zober previously being Deputy Mayor, but it was simply a temporary appointment by the previous mayor, Bob O'Connor, while he was on his deathbed, and Zober was only in the position for 26 days. So I think User:DoriSmith is right on the money regarding WP:BLP1E. Zober's appointment to Deputy Mayor is appropriately included here in the O'Connor article. Finally, the fact that an article has existed for a long time, as User:Samar alluded to, should never be a consideration in determining a subject's notability. Many articles slip through the cracks for a long time. The only issue should be: Does the subject meet the notability guidelines or not? --76.189.98.15 (talk) 20:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC) 21:15, 9 July 2012 (UTC) 21:38, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
