Mo Mohamed Salih

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a municipal councillor, in a city not large enough to get its municipal councillors over WP:NPOL. This is based almost entirely on primary sources and local media coverage, with the only non-local piece of media coverage sitting on the unexceptional statement "he has spoken out against campaign racism" -- and the closest thing to an actual claim of "more notable than the norm" includability, that he's the first person of Sudanese descent ever to become an elected officeholder anywhere outside of Sudan, is both unsupported by its own sources and unverifiable anywhere else either. The article, further, is written very much more like a campaign brochure than like an encyclopedia article, featuring fluffy public relations bumf like "Salih also is known for challenge the status quo and bureaucracy" and "Salih a charismatic and effective leader in his rookie year was considered as one of the top politicians ranked at top among his colleagues". Neither the substance nor the sourcing on offer here suggests any reason why he belongs in an encyclopedia. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 23:52, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
