Being a deputy mayor doesn't bring inherent notability under WP:NPOL. Insufficient coverage to justify WP:BASIC. Obi2canibe (talk) 17:33, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Local politican, and no covereage to meet WP:GNG. His office is long way below WP:NPOL threshold completely. –Ammarpad (talk) 13:12, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Being deputy mayor of a city is not an automatic WP:NPOL freebie that entitles a person to have a Wikipedia article just because one source can be added as cursory verification that he exists. It might be enough if he could be shown to clear WP:GNG, but it's not an inclusion freebie and the sourcing here is nowhere near enough. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I’ve searched and at best I can only find mentions in passing, which establish he exists but nothing more. Clearly fails WP:ANYBIO or WP:NPOL. Dan arndt (talk) 23:37, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
