Alvin Moore, Sr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Searches did not turn up enough in-depth, non-routine coverage from independent reliable sources to show he passes WP:GNG, and he certainly doesn't meet WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:15, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Being deputy mayor of a town with a population of just 2K is not a notability claim that passes WP:NPOL. That wouldn't matter if the article were actually sourced well enough to pass the "who have received significant press coverage" part of our criteria for local officeholders, but that's not what the sourcing here is demonstrating — of the nine footnotes present, five are primary sources (e.g. YouTube videos) that cannot support notability, and the ones that are actually reliable aren't enough in volume, range or depth to deem him more notable than most other officeholders at the municipal level of government: this number of media pieces always exist for every municipal councillor anywhere.

 * Strong delete Even being the mayor of a place with 25,000 (10 times the amount of place Moore is deputy mayor) would not be enough for default notability, and being vice mayor of a city with 250,000 would not give default notability. being a successful candidate for county comissioner is also not enough for default notability, and being a failed candidate is not grounds for mention anywhere.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails NPOL. Not notable local politician....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:40, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
