Fails notability. Being elected to a non-major office and just existing does not warrant notability

Keep: The Minneapolis City Council is not a "non-major office" and notability for officeholders has been established since nearly every current and recent member has a Wikipedia article. The city is undeniably major and the Council has received international attention because of the George Floyd protests and it's subsequent police reform initiatives. I see no reason Chughtai is an exception with regards to notability and hope you will expand on your basis for nominating nearly every incoming Councilmember's page for deletion.

Strong keep: We should be encouraging articles like this, not deleting them. This is not a "non-major office," and in fact it is even more notable than it might look on paper due to the centrality of Minneapolis to the demonstrations and unrest that have been occurring in the US (and other western countries) since 2020. Decisions made by the Minneapolis City Council (such as a proposal to create a new city public safety department instead of the police department) have been nationally noteworthy. It makes no sense to delete this article, when Wikipedia would in fact benefit from articles on all current members of the Minneapolis City Council and in fact quite uncontroversially had articles on each then-current member before the 2021 city election (which is when new member Chughtai was elected).
