Newark Municipal council members

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Copy and pasted biographies from four other articles currently at AfD (see:Articles for deletion/Anibal Ramos Jr.). Assuming those articles are deleted, then this should be too. If for some reason those articles are kept, then this still should be deleted because it is redundant. We already have this article which gives a general overview of the council and lists its members. There is no reason for these biographies to exists anywhere since they do not meet WP:POLITICIAN.

 * Obvious delete with a side order of trout If the other articles survive discussion, then this is a WP:COATRACK. If they do not, rolling them all into one Big-Ball-o'-Bio isn't going to make them more notable. This is extremely WP:POINTy and disruptive. Mangoe (talk) 15:13, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:COATRACKing a whole bunch of otherwise non-notable BLPs into a "list" article is not a valid bypass around having to get the people over a notability standard as individuals: if it were, then our entire concept of having any notability standards at all would be inherently eviscerated, because then the interminable parade of "Wikipedia is LinkedIn" people who already want their résumés published on here could simply paste their résumé into the article about the company they work for or the list of people from the city they live in or their alma mater, and thus exempt themselves from actually having to qualify for a standalone BLP. So no, if a person does not clear the standards required to qualify for their own standalone BLP, then we do not and should not keep all of the same content just because it's been pasted into an article that's titled with something other than a person's name. BLP applies to all articles that contain content about living people at all, not just to articles that have a person's name as their page title, so a person still has to clear the necessary notability standards for their field regardless of how you title the page that the content is included in.
