Richard Griffin (councilmember)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Biography of a person notable only as a city councillor. Richmond CA is not a large enough city to grant default notability to all of its city councillors just because they existed, but with just two local newspaper obituaries this is not sourced or substanced anywhere near well enough to deem him more notable than the norm among a not inherently notable class of topic.

 * Delete Obits can help over overcome WP:GNG, but only the [SF Gate] is non-trivial. The other obits are only a few paragraphs and appear to be the same story in multiple Bay Area News Group papers. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 23:48, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The non-routine San Francisco obituary isn't a terrible source, but I can't find much coverage of him otherwise. Furthermore, he's a councilmember for a smaller city, and we don't typically keep those articles anyways unless there's a lot of other coverage. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL.
