Local politician who only has received coverage regarding local issues to Winnipeg. Fails to meet WP:NPOL and I don't think the overwhelmingly local focus of the coverage passes WP:GNG. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. While consensus formerly accepted Winnipeg as a large enough city to give its city councillors a presumption of notability per WP:GNG, that has more recently been deprecated. The process of getting the ones who already had articles before the consensus changed, but don't qualify for them anymore, is time-consuming, so at the moment we still have more of them than we should, but that is not justification in and of itself for starting new ones now. A Winnipeg city councillor can still occasionally get over WP:GNG on the basis of sourcing which demonstrates him as more than just locally notable, but two pieces of WP:ROUTINE local coverage of the election result itself is not what it takes to clear the bar.

 * Delete - As a local city councillor, fails to meet WP:NPOL. Article makes no claim to notability and subject has not received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources to establish WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:35, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete being a member of the Winnipeg City Council is not enough to make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:20, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep being a member of the Winnipeg City Council is not the basis for an article's deletion. It just means that additional notability is required. In this instance, it exists and I will add one of the many cites that could be used for the article. Bangabandhu (talk) 15:48, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * "Spoke against the closing of public pools" is not, in and of itself, enough to make a city councillor more notable than the norm — every city council in existence is dealing with issues of what services it can and can't afford to maintain, and every city councillor is going to speak out on one side or the other of such issues. So that's still just WP:ROUTINE coverage that doesn't inherently make him more notable than any of the others, because it's just a normal thing to say about a normal, common local issue. Get back to us if and when he manages to foment a campaign of opposition so massive that it shuts down the entire city for weeks — that would be noteworthy.

 * Right, I just put that in as one example, but I think he's got a bunch more cites. Would it be alright if I let other editors who have worked on pages about local politicians know that these discussions are underway? Or is that considered canvassing?
