John T. Grant (Rockland County politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NPOL as a county-level politician and the single source doesn't establish WP:GNG. For reference, his predecessor's article was deleted last year. GPL93 (talk) 19:50, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete county exectives are not default notable, sourcing not great enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:30, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. County executives are not handed an automatic notability freebie under WP:NPOL just because they exist — the lowest level of political office that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article is the state legislature, not county anything. To actually be deemed notable, rather, he would need to be able to show a depth and range and volume of reliable source coverage about him that clearly marks him out as a special case of significantly greater notability than most other county executives — but the only references here are his son's profile on the self-published website of the county government itself and an entry about his funeral on an unreliable blog, not reliable or notability-supporting sources.
