Fails WP:NPOLITICIAN and lacks WP:SIGCOV – local government elected members are not automatically notable. As per WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources, not just mentions in passing. Current sourcing is a city website and a BEFORE check only found local mentioned. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:15, 3 August 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete. City council in midsized cities is not a level of government that confers "inherent" notability under WP:NPOL — the notability test for a city councillor is not "she exists", but "her work on the city council has been analyzed to such an extent that she would qualify as a special case of significantly greater notability than the norm for city councillors" (and/or "serves on the city council of an internationally prominent global city like Toronto, Montreal or NYC", but Sudbury isn't in that tier). That hasn't been shown here at all, and the article is based solely on her "staff" profile on the self-published website of the city council rather than any evidence of WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about her. I will grant that her predecessor, Mike Jakubo, does have an article, but he doesn't have it for having been a city councillor, he has it for having been a curler who competed in WP:NSPORT-conferring curling competitions like The Brier, so the fact that he has an article does not mean she automatically gets one too. (And no, "first woman elected in her own ward" is not a "more special than the norm" claim either — especially in a ward that's only existed in its current form since 2006, and has portions that were represented by other women under prior ward boundaries.)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Very much non-notable politician from my hometown. Sudbury is the largest city in the area, but not terribly large Canada-wise. Hyper local coverage and this . Oaktree b (talk) 17:01, 10 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete per Bearcat - local politicians must generally be notable beyond their area to be wiki-notable. SportingFlyer  T · C  23:52, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
