Dear Wikipedia. I'm not sure why the proposed page is being proposed for deletion. Mr. Todd is a very high profile politician in Houston and served on the City Council for the City of Houston. City Council is the legislative body for Houston, the fourth largest city in the USA. This seems to comply with Wikipedia point two under politicians (Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[7] Generally speaking, mayors are likely to meet this criterion, as are members of the main citywide government or council of a major metropolitan city. ) in that he was a member of citywide government, a member of the legislative branch, and received major press coverage for his six years in elective office. Incidentally, his city council district alone contains 243,000 people.

Rob Todd
I have restored an earlier version of this article. Your edits did not really enhance the "flow" of the article, as you called it; instead, one of their results was to entirely remove the article's lede, which is not according to the Manual of Style. Another was that your changes play fast and loose with chronology; his political and post-political career are all jumbled up--and you need to keep in mind that if this character has any notability at all, it comes from his political career. About the Delay thing: that Todd proposed something that Tom Delay agreed with is incidental and an example of namedropping. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:48, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
