Manuel Flores
This ultra-sub-stub reads "Manuel Flores is an Alderman for the 1st Ward in the City of Chicago."; end of article. As fellow Wikipedian R. fiend points out, there are dozens and dozens more sub-stubs just like this one under, with more on the way (currently red-linked). Manuel Flores turns up 274 hits on google.  Does merely being an Alderman make one "notable enough" for inclusion on Wikipedia? If so, why? GRider\talk 19:10, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Personally, I don't think politicians at this level are notable. However, I believe quite a few have survived VFD (mostly from Canada, if I remember correctly). I would really like to see VFD become more consistent, and less fickle. (and for goodness sake, kill the redlinks until the issue is decided.) Niteowlneils 19:14, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Consistency is good. There are several related discussions at the other Chicago aldermen VfD entries. I believe consensus tends towards the view that elected politicians are only in and of themselves notable if elected at a national level. Delete Radiant! 12:26, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * As with others: I think probably notable, but these tiny non-articles are useless. -- Jmabel | Talk
 * Merge These should all be merged on to one Chicago Alderman page &mdash; Linnwood 07:20, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. Make one page with all the aldermen, as Linnwood suggested. Carrp | Talk 07:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chicago aldermen. See also Deletion_policy/Local_politicians. Android79 00:53, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns
