Subject is a local councilor thus fails WP:NPOL. With only coverage of this death of COVID-19 (which thousand have die of COVDIV-19) and not other significant coverage in major newspaper thus fails GNG.  Cassiopeia(talk) 05:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NPOL. Celestina007 (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak weep per WP:SIGCOV. While totally run of the mill as a politician, his and his husband's death have gotten significant coverage. I think it's too soon to delete. Bearian (talk) 00:38, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of WP:GNG coverage, sources are all obit-based. WP:RECENTISM, WP:NEWS, WP:MEMORIAL. OhNo itsJamie Talk 05:04, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete he was on the city council of a very small place. The human interest coverage of two connected people dying from Covid-19 does not change the fact that they are non-notable people. Would we have an article on a city council member in a place the size and regional importance of live oak and his wife who was a famous local hair dresser who both died from Spanish flu and got written up in the local paper. Absolutely not, there is no reason at all to have this article either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:42, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Brooks is a local politician. Fails WP:GNG and WP:POLITICIAN. Lefcentreright  Talk  (plz ping) 22:03, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Live Oak where he was on the city council has 13,000 people. This makes it maybe the 4th argest place in Bexar County. San Antonio, which takes in much of the area of Bexar County, has 1.5 million people. There are another 200,000 people in Bexar County. The next largest place in the ounty has 41,000 people, but is not all in the county. Thus Live Oak is not in any way a regionally important place. If this had been a city council member in Warren, Michigan which at 135,000 people is the third largest city in Michigan and a significant city in the Detroit Metro Area, I would still advocate deleting the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Live Oak TX is not a global city for the purposes of securing the "inherent" notability of its city councillors — so the notability test he would have to pass is not just the existence of one or two hits of death coverage, but the existence of a very large depth and volume and range of reliable sourcing about his political career which established him as significantly more notable than most other city councillors. He is not automatically special just because he was gay, or because he and his husband died within two days of each other, or even just because he got two pieces of human interest coverage last week about the fact that he and his husband died within two days of each other: either you write and source a genuinely substantive article about his political significance, or he's not notable at all. Bearcat (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet WP:NPOL, and the lack of reliably-sourced coverage outside of the obituaries suggests that WP:GNG is not met. -- Kinu <i style="color: red">t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 06:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
