 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

City council member for a city with a population of 3K. Ghits are mainly just local city reports mentioning his activities, but not focusing on him. According to WP:POLITICIAN, this doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines. Also note that the article was almost certainly created by the subject of the article, so there is COI. Mr. Vernon (talk) 02:44, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

This city is located in the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Metro area, its a significant part of the metro area, the topic in the article have been reported on and published in local newpapers. Plus he is one of only a few openly gay elected officals in the entire state of Kentucky. Sounds notable to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.129.11.208 (talk) 04:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Note that the only activity the above IP has done is remove the autobio tag from the article (claiming that the article is neutral) several times, and modify the entry for Park Hills, Kentucky, city of Mr. Sudbrink's residence.  Whether this is a sock or just a friend is left to the judgment of the reader.  --Mr. Vernon (talk) 06:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Based on suspicious activity of the above IP address and others, I have opened a sockpuppet investigation on CSudbrink and several IP addresses: Sockpuppet_investigations/Csudbrink. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 01:17, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Candidate clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN, being a gay local councillor is nothing notable and there are no other claims to notability. A few mentions in local community newspapers is to be expected and virtually every local councillor in the world will have that. Valenciano (talk) 07:19, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - council member of a very small council who appears to have achieved nothing of note. Fails WP:Politician. Most of the content is so utterly trivial it would have no place here even if sourced; e.g. he voted against a tender to buy a fire truck; we are jesting, yes?
