Kevin Ross (politician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:BLP of a political officeholder at the local level, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The highest level of office he's stated to have held is that of county assessor, which is not an "inherently" notable office that guarantees a Wikipedia article per se -- but the only claim to greater notability than the norm is that he was charged with (but ultimately acquitted of) a crime nowhere near serious or important enough to claim that he would be notable under WP:PERP. And as for the sourcing, five of the seven footnotes here are primary sources (content on the self-published websites of his own employers, press releases, all-candidate election information directories) that are not support for notability -- and the two that are WP:GNG-worthy media coverage aren't enough to make him notable all by themselves as every officeholder at the local level can always show at least two hits in the local media. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more and better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 17:25, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
