Greg Anderson (Kentucky politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN or WP:GNG. Google News and Gogle Books showed up nothing. Boleyn (talk) 10:33, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: Not finding anything on Highbeam either. Being on a town council falls short of WP:POLITICIAN criteria. AllyD (talk) 19:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Cities in the 10-20K population range do not confer notability on their city councillors under WP:NPOL, "youngest officeholder in a particular jurisdiction" isn't a claim of notability that gets a person into an encyclopedia (and the claim isn't actually sourced here, either — and even if it was true when the article was created in 2008, what evidence do we have that it still is?), and the quality of sourcing here isn't enough to get him over WP:GNG. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 01:53, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Since wp:notability is not conferred, saying that "x does not confer notability" is a truism. Unscintillating (talk) 03:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Murray, Kentucky is a college town. As per the article, it has a micropolitan population of 37,000.  There is also a transient student population of 11,000 at Murray State University.  So Murray is a bit more influential than is shown by the statistics cited above.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * A city usually has to have a population in the millions before Wikipedia accepts its city councillors as "inherently notable" (anything below that, you've got to powersource them over the WP:GNG bar.) So its influence vis-à-vis the population statistics is irrelevant, because even 37K micropolitan + 11K extra university students still falls very far short of the mark.

 * Merge or redirect Delete The local NPR radio station,  reports that the age issue created controversy at the city council meetings.  The LinkedIn resume, link, shows that the term of office was two years, ending December 2010.   shows statewide television coverage on 17 November 2008, which would be shortly after the November elections.  KET has an extensive television broadcast network throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Something missing here for WP:N is coverage "over a period of time".  I see no analysis of the WP:ATD in the nomination.  Statewide coverage after a city council election in Murray would be something wp:prominent for Murray City Council.  When we/someone writes Murray City Council, this topic should be re-created as a redirect and the edit history restored using WP:REFUND.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:50, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
