Not notable enough to warrant own article...information may be moved more usably to Political history of Chicago. smileguy91talk - contribs 03:33, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 * KEEP She's a current Alderman, and heads the Chicago City Council's powerful rules committee. She's notable enough for the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, NBC News, WTTW. Victor Grigas (talk) 04:16, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Chicago is an internationally famous global city, which is the rarefied "elite" class of cities in which we do accept the city council as an office that satisfies WP:NPOL — while it's certainly true that not all of her colleagues actually have articles yet, by far the majority do. The article definitely needs some improvement, I won't argue with that — but it already isn't entirely unsourced, further sourceability is definitely attainable, and a valid claim of notability is present. Keep and flag for improvement. Bearcat (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I think any modern Chicago alderman would satisfy the GNG with ease. (And even for 19th century aldermen, I would bet that significant material exists in print.) Victor Grigas has already shared some of the sources that are available in this specific case. A proper article on the political history of Chicago would be too broad to include biographies on any individual aldermen, so a merge is not a good idea. Zagal e jo^^^ 06:45, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
