Appears to be an autobiography about a town council member "Council Member-At-Large of Newark, New Jersey". I believe it fails WP:NOTE. I was going to speedy it but I felt I would get your input. mboverload @ 05:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. No way this should be speedy, given the size (273,000) and importance of Newark.  I don't believe this is an autobio; the writing is much less POV than the source material on the city's web site.  Nonetheless, without evidence of significant media coverage, I don't think he reaches the notability threshold. Kestenbaum (talk) 21:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Newark is only a medium size city at 273,000, so members of its city council are not necessarily notable. Nothing substantial in Google News.
 * Comment Newark is by far the largest city in New Jersey, and its politics are potentially subject to major media coverage. Moreover, this fellow was elected citywide.  This is not some small constituency of a few hundred people that we often see in AFD.  I stand by my "delete" above (which is buttressed by the lack of Google News hits), but I also stand by my opposition to a "speedy delete" in this or any similar case of an official elected from a major population jurisdiction.

 * Keep An at-large member of the City Council of the largest city in NJ with a constituency of over 280,000 is obviously going to have generated some news coverage and meet WP:V WP:RS and WP:NOTE. These searches bring up quite a few sources to be used.  Jim Miller  See me 23:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
