WP:BLP of a person notable only as a city councillor, unsuccessful mayoral candidate and bureaucrat in a midsized city. As always, people at this level of political office are not automatically notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just because it's possible to verify that they exist -- to be notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia under WP:NPOL #2, he would have to be sourced to a significant range and depth of nationalizing coverage that established him as much more notable than the norm for local politicians. This does feature more actual sources than Terry Bankert, but they're still exclusively local coverage of a type and depth and number that's simply expected to routinely exist for all municipal-level politicians everywhere, and nothing about them establishes him as a special notability case over and above most other city councillors, unsuccessful mayoral candidates or city clerks. This simply isn't enough to make a person at this level of political office notable enough for inclusion in an international encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 19:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete city councilor's in a city of the size and importance of Flint are not default notable, and we do not have enough sourcing to show notability otherwise.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:05, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, and particularly failing WP:NPOL and WP:POLOUTCOMES. Flint is not so large a city that its city council members are automatically notable, and the coverage he's had is entirely local. Bearian (talk) 17:40, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete fails notability for municipal pols, being 18 in 1972 is not notability and begs the case as to whether this is a WP:PROMO or WP:COI case. Bkissin (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
