Biography, relying entirely on primary and unreliable sources, of a person notable only as a city councillor in what was, at the time, a suburban non-metropolitan city. I suppose one could argue that North York's subsequent amalgamation into Toronto, which occurred 12 years after the end of the subject's term on North York's municipal council, could retroactively graft the "metropolitan world city" notability of Toronto's city councillors onto North York's — I'd grant that to Metro Toronto councillors, personally, but not to people who served only on the suburban local councils — but even if you want to argue that view, the article would still have to be properly sourced. And as long as our article doesn't actually contain proper sourcing which verifies that she has died, WP:BLP still applies in the absence of explicit proof to the contrary — and unsourced BLPs have even less right to stick around.
