WP:BLP of a politician notable as a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under WP:NPOL, and as the first out LGBT holder of office in one specific county — but not, importantly, in the entire state (which is what it would actually take for that claim to count for anything.) While this appears well-sourced on the surface, in actual fact it's entirely dependent on WP:ROUTINE coverage of the election campaign in local media, glancing namechecks in coverage of other things, and primary sources. Local media have a public service obligation to cover local elections, so that kind of coverage is not enough to get a municipal officeholder into Wikipedia by itself — to pass WP:GNG, coverage of an officeholder at the city council level has to nationalize. Nothing here is enough to make her more encyclopedically notable than any of her other city council colleagues who don't have articles, so it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 22:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Bearcat. We all owe our thanks to the politicians who do the work of running our cities and towns.  But we have standards that require more than being elected and doing an important job well before a political figure can merit a Wikipedia page.13:49, 10 January 2016 (UTC)E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
