 * Keep. This article definitely needs improvement, but Los Angeles is a major, internationally prominent global city — exactly the tier of cities where we do accept city councillors as notable per WP:NPOL #2. National political positions are not the only path to notability as a politician — we also do accept mayors and city councillors as notable enough under certain circumstances, and serving on the city council of a major metropolitan global city is one of those circumstances. The navbox template at the bottom plainly verifies that all 14 of Lee's council colleagues have articles, and he would be the only one who doesn't if he were deleted — the only difference between this and those is that they've all been in office longer while Lee is a recently elected newbie, and thus they have had a lot more time to get improved and expanded.

 * Keep per WP:NPOL, city councilors in prominent cities such as Los Angeles are acceptable - Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per established precedent and practices - he is confirmed as a council member of a large, international city. Bearian (talk) 21:26, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Los Angeles is a major, international city and there are sufficient sourcing to develop a complete article about the subject. --Enos733 (talk) 06:35, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep LA is a large and significant enough city for its City Council members to qualify for WP:NPOL. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:22, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
