Non-notable local WP:POLITICIAN. Sourcing is official biography and a new york times article that contains a single quote. Rusf10 (talk) 02:44, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep: Satisfies WP:ANYBIO, WP:GNG.-- PA TH  SL OP U  13:46, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * How does Kelly possibly satisfy ANYBIO or GNG? I see one secondary source here, with only a quote, that doesn't even come close to significant coverage. As for ANYBIO specifically, notable awards??? NO widely recognized contribution???? NO entry in the dictionary of national biography???? NO--Rusf10 (talk) 14:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Serving on a county council is not an automatic inclusion freebie for a politician, but this is not referenced anywhere near well enough to actually get him over WP:NPOL #2 (or GNG or ANYBIO). GNG is not just "everybody who can be shown to have gotten their name into a newspaper once, regardless of context" — it requires him to be the subject of substantive coverage, which giving soundbite in an article about something else is not, in a notable context, which giving soundbite in an article about something else is also not.
