Fails WP:NPOL as a county-level politician and fails WP:GNG as the subject doesn't appear to have received more than routine local coverage. GPL93 (talk) 21:04, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - I looked online and only saw routine, local coverage. If you find significant coverage, can you please ping us? Bearian (talk) 00:24, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I found this Associated Press report but even then it focuses more on the state senator who stepping down to replace Connolly and while it is in the AP system it's doubtful the report circulated in any outlet outside of its Boston-area members. Best, GPL93 (talk) 16:06, 18 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. County treasurer is not an "inherently" notable office for the purposes of WP:NPOL — it could get him in the door if you could write and source a substantive article that effectively contextualized his political significance, but is not an automatic freebie just because it's possible to write "he exists, the end" and single-source the fact to a glancing namecheck of his existence in an article whose core subject is his successor.

 * Delete County treasurers are not inherently notable. This is part of Dedhamania. We are going to see about as many Norfolk County related deletion discussions as we have seen for local Louisiana politicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:14, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES and WP:SNOW. "It's dead, Jim." Bearian (talk) 16:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
